Here is the OE
Solution:
Step 1: Understanding Intended Meaning
The new law requires that people stay indoors
• We have here the format favouring the use of the subjunctive:
• Directive word: requires
• And the use of “that”
• Thus, we should look out for the correct usage of the subjunctive verb.
• In this case we have the correct use of the subjunctive verb form
• Requires + that+ subject+ stay (plural verb in the simple present)
and they should wear masks and step out only for essential purchases such as medicines and provisions
• List is grammatically not parallel because of missing marker
• “and” is a connector connecting two clauses.
• Per the rules of parallelism, the second clause should also start with “that” and should also follow the subjunctive verb form
• The use of “should” with the directive word “requires” is incorrect per the subjunctive verb rule.
• Correct version: and that they wear…..
Intended meaning:
• The new law requires
• that people stay indoors
• and
• that they wear masks and step out only for essential purchases such as medicines and provisions
Step 2: Eliminate choices with identified errors
