(B) is complete and it follows a prescribed format
(C)[b] be complete [/b]and a prescribed format is followed
(D) to be complete and a prescribed format be following
(E) be completed, and it followed a prescribed format
OA is A
I marked the choice C.
Subjunctive and hence no infinitive
Require+that + verb ( without infinitive)
Eliminate B and D
IN C,Bold parts are Not parallel .
In E, "It" doesnot have a clear refferent and an awkward construction
In A, Bold parts are parallel and adhere to subjunctive rules and hence correct
IMO A

Bankers **have proposed law/Legislation*** requiring that the financial information presented to them by mortgage applicants be complete and follow a prescribed format.
As you see you have to introduce a clause to have "Requring XY"
This is what I feel may be there are other techniques to make sentence more succint and use the idiom

1. I didn't get the following rule:
Subjunctive and hence no infinitive
Require+that + verb ( without infinitive)
Eliminate B and D
2. Why 'is' is wrong in option B?
Is it a grammar rule? If yes then could you give me some reference?

I would like to disagree, and would be happy to get the clarification by you as you got the answer right.iamcste wrote:sumittaneja009 wrote:Bankers require that the financial information presented to them by mortgage applicants be complete and follow a prescribed format.

A:
that the financial information presented to them by mortgage applicants be complete and ( that financial information be) follow a prescribed format.
I just replicated the subject that is implicit in the 2nd predicate.
I think, the "be" in the 2nd subject does not make sense
but if we look at C:
that the financial information presented to them by mortgage applicants be complete and a prescribed format is followed
it follows the parallelism : that Sub Verb and Sub Verb
Did i miss something ?
