English Language & LiteratureGrammar & UsageVerbs & ModalsSubjunctive Mood Learn the reasoning, not just the answer. A little clarity goes a long way.
- •
A (is): “Is” is an indicative form, not the mandative subjunctive explicitly requested.
- •
B (was): “Was” describes a past state; it is not the requested mandative subjunctive after “recommended that”.
- •
C (has): “Has revised” would be active and would lack an object here; the report needs to receive the revision.
- •
D (be): The mandative subjunctive uses the base form “be”, regardless of the subject: “that the report be revised”.
KEY TAKEAWAYRecommend, insist and suggest can take “that + subject + base verb” in the mandative subjunctive.

English Language & LiteratureGrammar & UsageVerbs & ModalsFinite vs Non-Finite VerbsGerund Learn the reasoning, not just the answer. A little clarity goes a long way.
- •
A (Finite verb): The finite verb is “is”; “Swimming” does not carry the sentence’s tense.
- •
B (Past participle): A past participle of swim is “swum”; “Swimming” is an -ing form used as a noun here.
- •
C (Gerund): “Swimming” names an activity and serves as the subject, so it functions as a gerund.
- •
D (Preposition): A preposition introduces a relationship such as in, at or under; “Swimming” does not do that.
KEY TAKEAWAYAn -ing form functioning as a noun is a gerund; context determines its function.
