Last week, Selous Game Reserve park rangers sent out a press release highlighting how their efforts to repopulate the African elephant have been successful, saying that their most effective guidelines
requiring that zero-poaching regulations to enforce protecting adult tusk-bearing elephants.
Analysis:
"Require" - is imperative verb form, when an imperative verb form is present before a subordinate clause, it should take on the subjunctive form. The command subjunctive form requires a "That" and also should use "be" form of the verb.
So the usage of 'to enforce' is incorrect.
(A) requiring that that zero-poaching regulations
to enforce protecting -
IncorrectThe usage of 'to enforce' is not correct. Also there is no verb for the subject guidelines.
PS: I am assuming that the additional 'that' in the answer choices is not by intent and probably a typo
(B)
that require zero-poaching regulations be enforced to protect -
Incorrect'That require' changes the meaning of the sentence and also makes the sentence that comes after
guidelines incomplete without a verb.
(C)
require that zero-poaching regulations
be enforced to protect -
correctThe use of 'require that' correctly uses the command subjunctive form and also uses the correct verb form 'be enforced'.
(D) require that zero-poaching regulations
to enforce protecting -
Incorrect'to enforce' is incorrect.
Also 'Guidelines require regulations to enforce protecting' changes meaning, regulations cannot enforce protection, this is incorrect meaning, only the regulations be enforced to protect elephants.
(E) require zero-poaching regulations
to enforce protection -
Incorrect'Guidelines require regulations to enforce protecting' changes meaning, regulations cannot enforce protection, this is incorrect meaning, only the regulations be enforced to protect elephants.
