Please can someone can explain why the answer for Qsn 220 is A instead of D.
220. Constance Horner, chief of the United States government’s personnel agency, has recommended that the use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to application for a job be grounds for not hiring an applicant. (A) the use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to application for a job be grounds for not hiring an applicant (B) any dangerous or illegal drug, if used in the five years prior to applying for a job, should be grounds not to hire the applicant (C) an applicant’s use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to application for a job be grounds not to hire them (D) an applicant’s use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to applying for a job are grounds that they not be hired (E) for five years prior to applying for a job, an applicant’s use of any dangerous or illegal drug be grounds for not hiring them
At a recent session, the French government has decided that Paris needs a second, larger opera house to complement the famous Paris Opera.
(A) has decided that Paris needs (B) decided that Paris needs (C) has decided that Paris will need (D) decided that Paris has a need of (E) has decided that Paris needed
I understand that E is incorrect because has decided is the wrong verb form to use in this case, but why is B correct? "Decided" is a reporting verb, so doesn't reporting verb move all other verbs "back in time" - aka shouldn't it be "decided that Paris needed"? Why does needs stay in present form used after a reporting verb.
Thanks!! Sorry couldn't figure out how to add to the main page with all the links...
