The health commissioner said that the government had implemented strict measures to eradicate the contaminated food and, despite the recent illnesses, it will try to prevent the outbreak from recurring in the future.
(A) it will try
(B) that it tried
(C) it had tried
(D) it would have tried
(E) that it would try
I understand how the answer is E in the above question. The tense has to be conditional and "that" has to be repeated.
My doubt:
While we are checking parallelism for open markers such as "X and Y", "X or Y" etc, how to we figure out where the X starts, or what part of X can be taken for Y as well.
Is the "that" necessary here or just preferred? Can the root phrase not be "The health commissioner said that"?
