Official Explanation:
Answer: E
(A) In the subjunctive mood, verbs such as mandate always need to be followed by that. Also, the use of to be in the subjunctive mood is incorrect; you only use be.
(B) The use of mandated and should in the same sentence creates an oxymoron. Mandate is an order and should implies suggestion, so they both can’t exist together.
(C) This sentence has no meaning as it eliminates that. The last part for their children provided access also doesn’t make any sense.
(D) That needs to come immediately after mandated. The use of will is incorrect since the sentence is in the subjunctive mood.
(E) The correct answer.
