B)that all illegally parked cars be towed and the owners
C)that all illegally parked cars should be towed, with the owners being
D)the towing of all illegally parked cars and the owners to be
E)all illegally parked cars towed, with their owners
Dear experts, I've got two questions
1) In the correct answer B, what is the construction behind the group "the owners fined". Why do they put "and" there without any comma, why don't they put "that" in the beginning of that phrase and insert "be" to put it this way ", and that the owners be fined"
2) I now E is the wrong answer because it does not follow subjunctive format. But the book says one point - "the use of "with" in this case is idiomatically incorrect". Please shed light on this matter, why is "with" idiomatically incorrect?
Thank you very much
Hi
B is straight way the answer, so I will not get onto why it is correct..
I'll just try to answer your questions..
1) you do not necessarily require to put BE in the second part although it is meant to be there..
You would use THAT if the two portions are independent. Here the owners are related to cars so the two parts are taken as part of the same clause...
2) With means along, together and should be used accordingly.
Here it does not fit in ..
