C) should eliminate unneeded beds, expensive services should be consolidated, and to use space in other hospitals

Is should not a bossy word?
Doesn't it follow the subjunctive rule?

"Recommend" is itself a bossy verb, so "should" is redundant. (And bossy verbs, when dealing with subjunctive constructions, tend to introduce "that" clauses.)richachampion wrote:The report recommended that the hospital should eliminate unneeded beds, expensive services should be consolidated, and use space in other hospitals.

If given the choice between: The teacher insisted that I be quiet. and The teacher insisted that I should be quiet. the GMAT will always prefer the first construction
