Mitch - Had the option C been "the original spirit...was that it is" instead of WAS that it WAS then would it have been any different ? Because as you said in the other thread "A bill is a PROPOSAL for a law", so I think, still C would have been wrong against E. Right ?GMATGuruNY wrote:C: the original spirit...was that it wasRBBmba@2014 wrote: P.S: I'm stuck between C & E. Experts - could you please share your analysis ?

As, already stated
was that it was ..... is redundant
so cancel A,B,C
Now, D pronoun "their" does not match its antecedent "every resident"in number so D also cancels
Leaving E as the option...
If I am wrong do Explain, further argument is appreciated....

Hello Mitch, dont you think this SC (employing subjunctive ) is not valid in the first place, because their is no wish/desire/command in this SC?GMATGuruNY wrote:C: the original spirit...was that it wasRBBmba@2014 wrote: P.S: I'm stuck between C & E. Experts - could you please share your analysis ?

It was the lawmakers' WISH that the law BE APPLIED equally to all residents.
Since the bill was written with this wish, the usage of the subjunctive -- be applied -- is justified.
