[force5]

the reason is that you have to use "that" after these words..

require, recommend and command

Hence you need to keep your verb in subjunctive mood.

Is this sentence valid?

good question. yes it is correct too. the two forms are different.

in the second form you are using the form-

require + Noun + infinitive + verb form.

which is also a correct form

remember Gmat will not give you a question which has both the options... look at the sentence that we started with. It is clearly testing the THAT form....
