Ans : D

Following multiple reports of wage theft, the Department of Labor will soon order a national restaurant chain to investigate whether several of its branches confiscated tips earned by their employees and that the information be shared with the local restaurant workers’ unions.

(A) earned by their employees and that the information be shared
The passive construction “earned by their employees” makes this choice wordy.

(B) that their employees earned and that the information be shared
This choice has no errors. The use of subjunctive (in green) correctly pairs with the verb “order”. This is likely the correct answer. – Contender.

(C) that was earned by their employees with the information being shared
The phrase “with the information being shared” is wordy and awkward. Usually (and not always!) the choice having the word “being” is not preferred by GMAT and we must look out for another option with a more concise and to the point grammatical construction.

(D) earned by their employees and shared the information
The passive construction “earned by their employees” makes this choice wordy. Also, the original sentence intends to tell that the “the Department of Labor will soon order the information (received) be shared”. Option D distorts the intended meaning of the original sentence.

(E) earned by their employees, information that must also be shared
The word “also” here is unnecessary and completely changes the intended meaning of the original sentence.

Answer: Option B

(A) earned by their employees and that the information be shared --> incorrect
(B) that their employees earned and that the information be shared --> correct choice (that & that parallelism correct )
(C) that was earned by their employees with the information being shared --> wrong
(D) earned by their employees and shared the information --> not the right choice
(E) earned by their employees, information that must also be shared --> not the right choice

Following multiple reports of wage theft, the Department of Labor will soon order a national restaurant chain to investigate whether several of its branches confiscated tips earned by their employees and that the information be shared with the local restaurant workers’ unions.

Two instructions are given by the department of labor. Order is a subjunctive verb that requires the use of "that". So Eliminate C,D,E.

(A) earned by their employees and that the information be shared - Modifier error
(B) that their employees earned and that the information be shared - "That their employees earned" correctly modifies tips - Correct
(C) that was earned by their employees with the information being shared
(D) earned by their employees and shared the information
(E) earned by their employees, information that must also be shared

IMO A

OA) A
Following multiple reports of wage theft, the Department of Labor will soon order a national restaurant chain to investigate whether several of its branches confiscated tips earned by their employees and that the information be shared with the local restaurant workers’ unions.

(A) earned by their employees and that the information be shared
--> put two subjunctive orders in parallel "to investigate.." and "that information be.."

(B) that their employees earned and that the information be shared
--> Ambiguouity about two clauses are parallel or not, and if "their employee.." and "information .." in parallel that is illogical

(C) that was earned by their employees with the information being shared
-->tips are plural so need a plural verb in the modifier

(D) earned by their employees and shared the information
--> put "earned" and "shared" in parallel which is not logical

(E) earned by their employees, information that must also be shared
--> these two clauses are connected with just a comma, not correct

(A) earned by their employees and that the information be shared -OUt
(B) that their employees earned and that the information be shared--False parallelism ,out
(C) that was earned by their employees with the information being shared--out
(D) earned by their employees and shared the information--confiscated and shared are parallel,Correct
(E) earned by their employees, information that must also be shared-out

oa: D

IMO A,

That is not required.

Hence we are left with A, D, E


E has modifier error.

D has parallelism error.

Hence A
