IMO D. Subjuntive verb is "call" should be used and so option D

I went with Choice E first. But then after looking at the answers felt that it was a mistake. D is right because incase of any uncertainty(desires/proposals/requests/hopes) its better to use that + infinitive form (without to)

Remember reading it in MGMAT SC Guide :( My bad..

Cheers,
S

I agree that 'D' is da strongest contender for da ans. As it is in a Subjunctive form

But I don't know where does 'B" fail. Is using a participle modifier incorrect here?

Participles should be used for modifying clauses. The participle (requesting) used in option B is not correct.

D is correct.

Its D and correct me if I am wrong. I chose it for the following reasons

1)Didn't think requesting was parallel to the word yielded
2) Somehow in " requesting it to" who is the "it" referring to? Buyers or Mistubishi? so a who was required.

If i am wrong..please correct me coz, I might end up using the same strategy in GMAT :D

..
I agree with you sicne the comoany has already accepted to the consumer needs then requesting is inappropariate ...

2 However I donot agree with your second point . If you see option D also has .".it "..

I will recommend , that go by the rule that subjunctive + infinitive ( without to ) ...this can be clearly seen in the option D ... and hence correct

regards
