1000 SC - 463

by jangojess » Tue Oct 02, 2007 1:57 pm
Judicial rules in many states require that the identities of all prosecution witnesses are made known to defendants so they can attempt to rebut the testimony, but the Constitution explicitly requires only that the defendant have the opportunity to confront an accuser in court.

(A) that the identities of all prosecution witnesses are made known to defendants so they can attempt to rebut
(B) that the identities of all prosecution witnesses be made known to defendants so that they can attempt to rebut
(C) that the defendants should know the identities of all prosecution witnesses so they can attempt a rebuttal of
(D) the identities of all prosecution witnesses should be made known to defendants so they can attempt rebutting
(E) making known to defendants the identities of all prosecution witnesses so that they can attempt to rebut

OA - B
My Choice - A
Trying hard!!!

Also the sentence is in Sunjunctive mood;hence BE is required.Subjunctive mood is used when there is a degree of uncertainty as to whether or not the second person or body will actually do what is asked.Please refer Manhattan Sentence Correction Notes.They are just superb and will surely help you in SC

Don't we have "they" an ambiguous pronoun reference here.

They is referring to prosecution witnesses or defendants.

I think all the choices are incorrect.
Can anyone pls comment.

Thanks
Amit
