Bankers require that the financial information presented to them by mortgage applicants be complete and follow a prescribed format.

(A) be complete and follow a prescribed format – CORRECT
(B) is complete and it follows a prescribed format
(C) be complete and a prescribed format is followed - NOT PARALLEL
(D) to be complete and a prescribed format be following - NOT PARALLEL
(E) be completed, and it followed a prescribed format - NOT PARALLEL
REQUIRE THAT – following that should be “BE INF” or “PLURAL VERB”
AND – show us that two verbs should be parallel

Is it correct to say, financial information follow a prescribed format? How a non-living thing can follow some rules?

20. Bankers require that the financial information presented to them by mortgage applicants be complete and follow a prescribed format.

(A) be complete and follow a prescribed format

Correct. "require" is a word that has the meaning of demanding, just like "mandate", "demand", "need", "suggest", "insist", etc. When you encounter these words, the correct usages are "require + that + bare infinitive". Here, bare infinitive just means infinitive without the "to", so it is the original form of verb. (ex: bare infinitive of "be" is "be", "make"->"make", etc.)

In addition, the "and" signals parallelism. "be complete..." and "follow..." are parallel since they are both verbs.

(B) is complete and it follows a prescribed format

By the explanation in A, "is" is not bare infinitive, so it is wrong.

(C) be complete and a prescribed format is followed

By the same explanation in A, bare infinitive form of verbs should be used. Since "and" signals parallelism, "is followed" should also be bare infinitive -> "follow"

(D) to be complete and a prescribed format be followed

By the same explanation in A, "to" is wrong.

(E) be completed, and it followed a prescribed format

By the same explanation in A and C, "followed" is wrong.

I know a lot of discussion has been done on the use of "follow" here, but I'm still confused regarding use of plural vs singular form of verb in commanding subjunctive form.

Any help from the experts would be nice.

Thanks.

Hi Sahils57, it's not really plural vs singular form; rather subjunctive uses the infinitive form, without the word to.

Infinitive form of follow: to follow

Infinitive form of follow, without the word to: follow.

So, follow is used here.

p.s. Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses Subjunctive, its application and examples in significant detail. If you or someone is interested, PM me your email-id; I can mail the corresponding section.

B, C, D, and E can all be eliminated because if we apply those phrases just after "information presented to them..." all 4 violate parallelism in the original.

A is correct
