the s/c req a conjunction after need only B and E do so

Need for is the correct idiom .

Hence ELIMINATE A, C and D

Now we are left with B and E

B is wrong because the subject is a need . which is singular .

In B they are making pine and flax as the subject and hence using the verb are because its separated by 'and'

Hence E .
required for ... to be ....

Hope this helps

i DID get E for this one... is there an antecedent for "That" though? I need to start recognizing these...

[bhumika.k.shah]

Not really . dont think so . If there would be an antecedent , then what would it be

I think they are only testing idioms in this one .
