Upon receiving a summons for fare evasions or other traffic violations, the law requires paying the fine immediately or having a hearing.
A the law requires paying the fine immediately or having a hearing
B the law requires that the fine is paid immediately or a hearing is held
C the law requires the immediate payment of the fine or a hearing
D the offender must meet the law's requirement of the fine being paid immediately or a hearing
E the offender is required by law to pay the fine immediately or have a hearing
Meaning : Upon receiving a summons for fare evasions or other traffic violations is a modifier and it must modify something or some person. Here as per the sentence, the law can't receive the summon but thiss can be a offender who can receive the summons.
So A , B and C are out...
D : the offender must meet the law's requirement of the fine being paid immediately or a hearing - This is non sensical -
a hearing is also incorrect...there must be a verb before this.
E : subject + verb agreement is clear in this sentence.
So E is the correct answer..
