Despite protests from some waste-disposal companies, state health officials have ordered the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be published.

(A) the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be
(B) that seawater at popular beaches should be measured for their levels of bacteria, with the results being
(C) the measure of levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches and the results to be
(D) seawater measured at popular beaches for levels of bacteria, with their results
(E) that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and the results

The standard answer is E. However, does E miss a "be" at end? Should it be "that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and the results be"

in 2nd statement, be is not required

Same applies to "to be" ..

in 1st sentence "to be" and in 2nd sentence, only "be" is required.

officials cannot order bacteria.. insane
(B) that seawater at popular beaches should be measured for their levels of bacteria, with the results being [sea water - singular - their levels ]
(C) the measure of levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches and the results to be
[Same as A]
(D) seawater measured at popular beaches for levels of bacteria, with their results
Officials cannot order sea water
(E) that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and the results
Yes looks like 'be' is missing

Second take: coming soon..

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
