OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The verbal section of the GMAT requires that test takers will adhere to the rules of standard written English when analyzing sentence correction questions.
A. will adhere to the rules of standard written English
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. Require is one of the nine verbs to which the Subjunctive rule applies (if it is followed by that). This means that the next verb after requires that should be in base form. However, will adhere is not in base form.
What helps us identify this question as a Subjunctive question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: propose/recommend/require/request/insist/suggest/mandate/ask/demand that
Whenever you come across this Stop Sign, make sure that the following verb is in its base form.
B. must adhere to standard written English rules
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect and repeats the original mistake. Require is one of the nine verbs to which the Subjunctive rule applies (if it is followed by that). This means that the next verb after requires that should be in base form. However, must adhere is not in base form.
