The report recommended that the hospital should eliminate unneeded beds, expensive services should be consolidated, and use space in other hospitals.

A) should eliminate unneeded beds, expensive services should be consolidated, and use space in other hospitals
B) should eliminate unneeded beds, expensive services should be consolidated, and other hospitals' space be used
C) should eliminate unneeded beds, expensive services should be consolidated, and to use space in other other hospitals
D) eliminate unneeded beds, consolidate expensive services, and other hospitals' space used
E) eliminate unneeded beds, consolidate expensive services, and use space in other hospitals

(A), (B) & (C) are complete mess, not parallel.

(D) ,and "other hospital's space used" is not parallel to the previous two clauses

(E) shows correct parallelism.

I would want to understand why it is <i>that the hospital eliminate, consolidate.....</i> and not <i>that the hospital eliminates, consolidates....</i>

+1 for E

eliminate unneeded beds, consolidate expensive services, and use space in other hospitals- correct usage of the subjunctive- subjunctive verb+THAT+subject+plural form of verbs in parallel structure.
