The budget for education reflects the administration's demand that the money is controlled by local school districts, but it can only be spent on teachers, not on books, computers, or other materials or activities.

A. the money is controlled by local school districts, but it can only be spent
B. the money be controlled by local school districts, but it allows them to spend the money only
C. the money is to be controlled by local school districts, but allowing it only to be spent
D. local school districts are in control of the money, but it allows them to spend the money only
E. local school districts are to be in control of the money, but it can only spend it

Can someone please explain why B is the correct answer?

I'm stuck between b & d , the rest can be eliminated simply based on the position of "only"

This is a subjunctive mood question. A verb such as "Demand" which expresses a directive falls under the subjunctive mood criteria. Such verbs MUST be followed by the simple form of the following verb, which is the infinitive minus the to.

eg. I suggest that he study

More information can be found here : https://www.englishpage.com/minitutorial ... ctive.html

Thus we must have the word "be" since the infinitive in question here is "to be" which has been incorrectly written as:

A. is
C. to be
D. are (we ALWAYS use singular in subjunctive irrespective of the number of the subject)
E are to be

In subjunctive mood questions, the sentence structure would always look like:

Subject - Verb1 - that-Object - Verb2

here verb2 should be one infinitive form without "to"..

Applying this rule to the given question:

only choice B is in infinitive form without "to" and hence is the best answer.
