Experts' Global Official Explanation:
Subjunctive Mood + Meaning
- • The use of the modifier “on condition” expresses a mandate and thus, the subjunctive mood is preferable here; further, “bossy phrase (on condition) + that + something be done” is a correct subjunctive mood usage.
A. Correct. This answer choice maintains the correct subjunctive mood structure “bossy phrase (on condition) + that + something be done (they not be named)”.
B. Trap. This answer choice fails to maintain a correct subjunctive mood structure, as it utilizes the clause “their names will not be used” rather than the “something be done (they not be named)” construction; please remember, “bossy phrase (on condition) + that + something be done” is a correct subjunctive mood usage.
C. This answer choice fails to maintain a correct subjunctive mood structure, as it utilizes the clause “their names are not used” rather than the “something be done (they not be named)” construction; please remember, “bossy phrase (on condition) + that + something be done” is a correct subjunctive mood usage.
D. This answer choice fails to maintain a correct subjunctive mood structure, as it omits the word “that” and utilizes the phrase “of not being named” rather than the “something be done (they not be named)” construction; please remember, “bossy phrase (on condition) + that + something be done” is a correct subjunctive mood usage.
E. This answer choice fails to maintain a correct subjunctive mood structure, as it omits the word “that” and utilizes the clause “they will not be named” rather than the “something be done (they not be named)” construction; please remember, “bossy phrase (on condition) + that + something be done” is a correct subjunctive mood usage.
A is the best answer choice.
