D sounds less awkward than C in my opinion. I don't think Allow to or allow that are unidiomatic. I'm allowed to go home early. I allow that you buy me a drink. ugimba wrote: priyankur_saha@ml.com wrote: Since 1986 when the department of Labor began to allow investment officer's fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well. a. investment officer's fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began b.

D. OA? Shows continuous action...so "have begun" is correct. So C and D. In C, "how the funds they manage perform" is long and ugly with two adjacent verbs. priyankur_saha@ml.com wrote: Since 1986 when the department of Labor began to allow investment officer's fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well. a. investment officer's fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began b.

Thanks bigfernhead. Do you agree that "allow that" is subjunctive verb? Rather than saying the C is awkward, can we imply that "allow" is not subjunctive; therefore, "be used" is wrong usage here. Otherwise there is no issue with C. Please say what do you feel about C.

My say is D.
C - that fees for investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform , several corporations have begun
What does is the meaning of - "how the funds they manage"

D.
C - is ambiguous.It is not clear if the fees manage the funds or if the investment officers manage the funds.

priyankur_saha@ml.com, Which preposition to use with allow..and thereby which idiomatic construct to use depends upon the sentence...For example "The teacher allowed her students to play in the field"..I think the sentence in the question has a similar contruction...D is the least ambiguous maening in this sentence....

Oh no, I missed this subtle difference. C. fees for investment officers -- FOR? D. fees of investment officers = investment officers' fees OA is D. Thanks for contributions.
