tip: parallelism,subjunctive

[Carlo75]

The correct idiom here is: require X to do Y.
The idiom require that X be Y is used in the subjunctive mood.
So, C is incorrect.

A, B and D are not parallel with the rest of the sentence .

E is idiomatically correct and parallel.

Thoughts ?

[ksh]

It is a parallelism SC.
current theories on the
origins of Judaism and Christianity, alter ,make and require....

So the correct choice is E. Hope its clear now.

[chidcguy]

C) require that scholars are to credit the Old
Testament with greater historical accuracy

C is wrong because it breaks parallelism and also the subjunctive rule. It uses are, which is a form of to be.

[GmatKiss]

IMO E

[1947]

E seems correct bcos of parallelism
