Good day all,
In the attached printscreen, you'll see that amongst the answer choices, "D" is identified as the correct answer (though I unfortunately picked picked "E").
I understand that the correct usage of the idiom "request" should be either:-
a)... who request + that + infinitive without to (e.g. I request that test-takers be on time), or
b)... who request + to (e.g. I request test takers to be on time)
Why is option "E" wrong in this question's case (i.e. ... the British Museum continues to rebuff the Greek authorities who request them to return the Parthenon marbles...)
Pls share your thoughts, thanks.
