D and E shud not be correct since past perfect "had" is not required.

Also, since it is subjunctive .." she insisted that ....Greek and Latin be spoken at court "

is more correct than "Greek and Latin were to be spoken at court.

therefore C shud be correct.

But can we justify usage of SHE in option C ? IT was she..., where it is a subject , was verb and she is object.

therefore ideally object pronoun should be used i.e her

Please comment.

sorry guys...

i think it will be C..

change of tenses is not required.

@piyush_nitt

yes, "IT" can be used to give emphasis

"she" is third person pronoun.

Eg:It was I who first protested.

i hope this helps.

CONFUSED

by dgr8onerip » Sat Jan 17, 2009 5:50 am
imo: C
IT WAS CLOSE BETWEEN C AND E
BUT THE TENSE USED IN E DOES NOT SUIT THE SENTENCE.

BUT I SERIOUSLY NEED 2 KNOW WHETHER THE USE OF BE (IN " Greek and Latin be spoken at ") IS VALID
