A classic case of the use of the present subjunctive requiring the imperative form of the verbs such as -focus and not neglect -. Any present tense and infinitive such as -focuses and to neglect - are clearly wrong. A, B, D and E are gone. C is the perfect foil

Someone said "advisable is not an example of subjunctive" so the right answer must have "focuses"
what do u say?
Looking for other opinions as well

advisable is indeed one of those samples of subjunctive according to MGMAT, If I remember Correct. Some MGMAT spokesperson should clarify on this
