Despite protests from some waste-disposal companies, state health officials have ordered the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be published.

(A) the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be
(B) that seawater at popular beaches should be measured for their levels of bacteria, with the results being
(C) the measure of levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches and the results to be
(D) seawater measured at popular beaches for levels of bacteria, with their results
(E) that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and the results

The standard answer is E. However, does E miss a "be" at end? Should it be "that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and the results be"

in 2nd statement, be is not required

Same applies to "to be" ..

in 1st sentence "to be" and in 2nd sentence, only "be" is required.

(E) that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and ("that" is missing) the results ("be" is missing)

(A) the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be
officials cannot order bacteria.. insane
(B) that seawater at popular beaches should be measured for their levels of bacteria, with the results being [sea water - singular - their levels ]
(C) the measure of levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches and the results to be
[Same as A]
(D) seawater measured at popular beaches for levels of bacteria, with their results
Officials cannot order sea water
(E) that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and the results
Yes looks like 'be' is missing
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..

HSPA.
