IMO scans... as the subject is "it" - National Security Agencyprac wrote:The National Security Agency insists that in order to disrupt any terrorist activities, it regularly scan most if not all overseas cables and telephone traffic and a large volume of written domestic communications.?

Exactly -- the subjunctive has the same form as the infinitive without "to", often called the "plain" or "bare" form, meaning that it isn't assigned endings to match the person and number; forms that match the person and number of a subject are called "finite" verbs, because they have endings.prachich1987 wrote:We need to use SCAN here
It's an example of subjunctive mood
e.g
I insist that he resign--correct
I insist that he resigns--incorrect
