Section 301 of the 1988 Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act enables the United States Trade Representative to single out a country as an unfair trader, begin trade negotiations with that country, and, if the negotiations do not conclude by the United States government’s being satisfied, to impose sanctions.

A. by the United States government’s being satisfied, to impose
B. by the United States government’s satisfaction, impose
C. with the United States government’s being satisfied, imposing
D. to the United States government’s satisfaction, impose
E. to the United States government’s satisfaction, imposing


What is the correct idiom with 'conclude' ?
conclude with or conclude to?

'Conclude to' is used with a verb

like in the above example - conclude to United state's satisfaction

since satisfaction is a verb we use 'conclude to'

'conclude with' is used with a noun

eg: Conclude with United States
since United States is a noun we use 'conclude with'

First read gives us a signal that it’s a parallelism issue: ‘single out’, ‘begin trade’ and some simple verb. Only valid options are B and D. In option B, “Conclude by the US government…,” sounds like government itself is concluding, and that’s logically wrong. IMO D, which says USTR can impose sanctions, if the negotiations do not conclude to the US government’s satisfaction.

I am confused whether “confused with” is idiomatic. To me conclude to, with or by all looks correct depending on the context.

the idiom is "to satisfaction".

to maintain parallelism we need: enable to single, begin trade and impose
so A, C, E are out. there goes "conclude with" as well.

between B and D. its D.
"to someones satisfaction" is better usage than "by someones satisfaction" as US's satisfaction itself coudnt have performed the act of conclusion.
