Q01Practice Question · অনুশীলন
Choose the standard mandative subjunctive: “The committee recommended that the report ___ revised.”
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 TAKEAWAY
Recommend, insist and suggest can take “that + subject + base verb” in the mandative subjunctive.
