The new contract forbids a strike by the transportation union.


A forbids a strike by the transportation union
B forbids the transportation union from striking
C forbids that there be a strike by the transportation union
D will forbid the transportation union from striking
E will forbid that the transportation union strikes

WHY IS B INCORRECT ? IS IT BECAUSE OF ACTIVE / PASSIVE SELECTION?

Strike as a noun is different from strike as a verb.

B forbids the transportation union from striking = PASSIVE
C forbids that there be a strike by the transportation union - AWKWARD
D will forbid the transportation union from striking
E will forbid that the transportation union strikes = AWKWARD
