(B) is complete and it follows a prescribed format

Bankers require that the financial information presented to them by mortgage applicants be complete and follow a prescribed format.
(A) be complete and follow a prescribed format
(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.

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 ?
