1) same
2) an S corporation with assets of greater than $200,000 send W-2 forms to their full- and part-time employees

3) that an S corporation with assets of greater than $200,000 send W-2 forms to its full- and part-time employees

4) an S corporation with assets of greater than $200,000 to send W-2 forms to their full- and part-time employees

5) an S corporation with assets of greater than $200,000 send W-2 forms to its full- and part-time employees


I know here we would choose mandates that . This leaves us with ption 1 and 4. however since corporation is singular here , shoun't we use 'sends' instead of 'send'???
OA SHOULD BE 3)

IMO (C).

(A) that an S corporation with assets of greater than $200,000 send W-2 forms to their full- and part-time employees. ---> their and an - pronoun mismatch.

(B) an S corporation with assets of greater than $200,000 send W-2 forms to their full- and part-time employees ---> no clear subjunctive or the use of <to> before "send W-2..." + same as A.

(C) that an S corporation with assets of greater than $200,000 send W-2 forms to its full- and part-time employees --> Perfect subjunctive and pronoun match.

(D) an S corporation with assets of greater than $200,000 to send W-2 forms to their full- and part-time employees --> on the lines of B

(E) an S corporation with assets of greater than $200,000 send W-2 forms to its full- and part-time employees ---> same as B.

I thought this was a pretty straight forward SC correct

Can easily eliminate A, B, and D due to their use of 'their' instead of 'its' when referring to 'S Corporation', which is singular

Then have to decide between C or E and the only difference is "mandate that.." (C) or "mandate an". Mandate is a 'bossy verb' (much like demand, require, insist etc.) and therefore requires the command subjunctive form i.e., must be followed by 'that'

As an FYI - command subj form is this
subject + (bossy verb) + "that" + object + (infinitive form of the verb minus the "to")

Answer should be C.

This is, in my opinion, clearly C. An S corporation is singular so it should be matched with its and not their. Also, how can you mandate an S corporation? You mandate that...at least that's what makes sense to me.

IMO C
subjunctive mood, thus THAT is required here
its rather than their as pronoun for corporation.

As per the Manhattan SC Book, subjunctive mood is used to express 'hopes, proposals, desires, and requests'...

Why do you say that it is a subjunctive mood... ??
The subjunctive is also used with some demands/orders. "He demanded that they send him three pizzas."
Hi,

What is preferred here, That or An?

Thanks in Advance :)
