"them" in the choice D correctly refers to "the officials".

An international law regarding war crime states that once a foreign intruder is captured by officials,
they are legally empowered to request that:

A/ he imparts to them basic personal information
B/ he would impart basic personal information to them
C/ he will impart basic personal information to them
D/ he impart basic personal information to them. correct
E/ he impart basic personal information to the officials
no need to mention "officials" again




few verbs in which subjunctive rule applies & commonly used in GMAT are

Demand
Insist
Dictate
Mandate
Request
Propose
Recommend
Stipulate
Suggest

You can remember these also by (DID MRP RSS). Thats how I did :-D

All the very best :)

As per my reasoning, both D and E are correct. Why D is preferred over E? Is this kind of the choices formed in GMAT's official ques.

It is preferable to use pronouns when there is no ambiguity:

Ram claims that Ram is an honest man.
Ram claims that he is an honest man.

The first sentence is awkward.

A. he imparts to them basic personal information
B. he would impart basic personal information to them
C. he will impart basic personal information to them
D. he impart basic personal information to them
E. he impart basic personal information to the officials

Simple use of Subjuntive: Require that + Plural. Hence, A, B and C are incorrect.

Out of D and E, 'them' in D is clearly reffering to the offials, so we donot need to specify officals, hence D is correct

Dears,
Page 72 in Sentence correction Manhatan, author mentions that repeat the noun is referable. Could you pls recheck
"If you are down to two answer choices that are absolutely identical, except that one has they (referring to executives earlier) and the other has these executives, go with the latter, just to be super-safe"

"them" could also refer to "crime states"

Hi Abhimahna,

I was going through the conditional clauses and I came across this article: https://www.ef.com/english-resources/en ... nditional/

Shouldn't this be a question of the conditional clause as the question stem states that once a foreign intruder is captured by officials : if-statement in present tense ,i.e, If + simple present.

Therefore, the main clause should have the Will-statement, i.e., simple future.

Why not A. He is singular while the verb impart is plural. Subject verb disagreement.
