Sentence Correction

633. Senator Lasker has proposed legislation requiring that employers should retain all older workers indefinitely or show just cause for dismissal.
(A) that employers should retain all older workers
(B) that all older workers be retained by employers
(C) the retaining by employers of all older workers
(D) employers’ retention of all older workers
(E) employers to retain all older workers


OA is E

E is the correct answer
bcoz
B&C are in passive.

D is awkward.

A is using "Should"....

plz advice if i am wrong

IMO E

stubbornp is correct with the explanations, though I would like to add a simple point

(A) that employers should retain all older workers
Construction is not parallel, should retain or show... conjunctions should have parallel structure...

or, how about the verb "Retain" should match with the other verb "show"!
So the correct choices filter to A and E.
And for the same reason 'llism , A is out!
please comment!

(B) that all older workers be retained by employers
(C) the retaining by employers of all older workers
(D) employers’ retention of all older workers
(E) employers to retain all older workers

i understand why E is correct. But this sentence 'requiring that.. '' is not taking this sentence into subjunctive mood??? if so, what's the problem with B? B is in subjunctive mood isn't it?

@kiranlegend, B is less preffered here becuse it is a passive construction, I think so. Between I chose B at the first instance

thanks reachac.. i think so. it might have been rejected due to its passiveness.. however, my qeustion is: is requiring that calls for subjunctive mood??

E is parellel but how do we know that we have to choose E which doesnt use that after requiring? where as in B, it suffices both require.. that and subjunctive.. any thoughts??

yeah even i am wondering ....

Require is a subjunctive word.. shudnt it be followed by "That"?

any explanations for this will be highly appreciated.!!
