(A) demanding that the ban should be reverted and the festival takes place
(B) demanding that the ban be reverted and the festival takes place
(C) demanding that the ban is reverted and the festival took place
(D) demanding that the ban be reverted and the festival take place
(E) demanding that the ban should be reverted and the festival should take place
Topic: Subjunctive mood
"demand"+ that..
We need to follow the basic rules.
1)Should is not used in the subjective (Reason demand and should are redundant)
2)The following
be-forms are not used am, is,& are. We need to use e instead of any of them.
By applying the above rules we can eliminate all the options except B,D.
In subjective we must use plural form ... Hence
festival take place is correct.
IMO D
BunuelI think the question needs to be modified :
The ban on a bull-fighting festival in Tamil Nadu, a South Indian state, hurt
Ban (Subject) .... hurt(verb) there is an SV agreement error.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
