Your question was ''Is the use of subjunctive fine in option B''?

Though B is not the correct answer option, it uses subjunctive correctly. We know the structure:

.........a subjunctive verb + that + subject + base form of verb + .....................

Hello krndatta,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, in this case "for participating" has been used to refer to the intent of the action "denied permission". This usage is not incorrect, but for referring to the purpose/intent of an action, the infinitive verb form ("to + base form of verb") is preferred over the present participle ("verb+ing" - "participating" in this sentence).

To understand the concept of "Infinitive vs Present Participles" on GMAT, you may want to watch the following video (~2 minutes):

(A) that they are denied permission for participating

(B) that they be denied permission for participating

(C) denying them permission for participation

(D) the denial of permission that they participate

(E) to deny them permission to participate

NEW question from GMAT® Official Guide 2019


(SC00970)


Couldn't we just eliminate A, B, C, D because of usage? I thought that the idiom is "permission to do sth"

Hello saby1410,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, the use of the simple resent tense in Option A is incorrect; logically the simple past tense should apply.

We hope this helps.
All the best!

'vote to do" and "permission to do" are idioms. so, this is more about idiom than about meaning analysis. we do need to know normal idiom to make our english working

rahul2013 is right.

Quote:
Hi, I have solved the question as follows:

Please correct me if I am wrong.

A. the word 'they' can refer to both council members or environmentalists.
B. Same as A
C. the word 'them' can refer to both council member or environmentalists.
D. wordy
E. Correct as 'them' is used for environmentalists.


But D not only is wordy but also has the same problem.
“that they participate” has the same problem.

I just wonder why some "experts" said this question was not the subjunctive question.
It definitely is.
from cambridge dictionary
[ + (that) ] I vote (that) we (= I think we should) go to the cinema first and eat afterwards.
I might be wrong, but cambridge dictionary can't be.

GMATNinja what are your thoughts? I am not totally convinced that this is an idiom-based question.

Along with hypotheticals, a subjunctive is also used in cases of 'wish/suggestion/demand/command.'

There are certain adjectives (advisable, desirable etc.) and nouns (order, decree, requirement etc.) that prompt us to use subjunctives.

It is advisable that ... subjunctive
The high command has sent an order that ... subjunctive
etc.

The original sentence is also similar in nature and hence the use of subjunctive is fine.

Hello adgarg,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, the subjunctive mood is not just used for hypothetical and imaginative situations; it is also used for commands, suggestions, requests, etc; these scenarios are marked by the use of bossy verbs - in this case, "voted".

To understand the concept of "Subjunctive Mood" on GMAT, you may want to watch the following video (~20 minutes):

Hello Elite097,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, "voted" is an example of a bossy verb, verbs that signify that one entity asked that an action be taken.

The use of such verbs triggers the command subjunctive.
