Under a provision of the Constitution that was never applied, Congress has been required to call a convention for considering possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do it by the legislatures of two-thirds of the states.
(A) was never applied, Congress has been required to call a convention for considering possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do it
(B) was never applied, there has been a requirement that Congress call a convention for consideration of possible amendments to the document when asked to do it formally
(C) was never applied, whereby Congress is required to call a convention for considering possible amendments to the document when asked to do it formally
(D) has never been applied, whereby Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do so
(E) has never been applied, Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do so
OA : E
Very specific doubt. In A, B, C - OG says "was never applied" is wrong tense.How do we decide that it's true that the provision has never been applied, either in the past or up to this point in time.Can someone please elaborate and explain this and then justify E using similar reasoning.
Stacey has explained it in this post but its not clear to me. (https://www.beatthegmat.com/usage-of-has ... 19983.html)
