(A) requesting that it should
(B) requesting them to
(C) and its request to
(D) who request that it
(E) who request them to
It should be D. Its the case of command subjunctive.
Could you please elaborate on this.
Despite forceful legal pleas for the restitution of expropriated cultural artifacts to the place of their origin, the British Museum continues to rebuff the Greek authorities
requesting that it should return the Parthenon marbles removed from the Acropolis by Lord Elgin in 1806.
(A) requesting that it
should
(B) requesting
them to
(C) and
its request to
(D) who request that it
(E) who request
them to
this is a question of command subjunctive
correct construction:
Bossy Verb + THAT + subject + Command Subjunctive (reference mgmat book)
Greek authorities
request that the British Museum return the Parthenon marbles removed from the Acropolis by Lord Elgin in 1806.
Use of SHOULD is wrong in case of command subjunctive (reference mgmat book)
Hope this Helps..!!
