OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
In a 2003 lawsuit against the CIA, a group of well-known authors demanded that the agency releases all documents pertaining to the Kennedy assassination, perhaps in an attempt to enlarge its resources for new novels.
A. In a 2003 lawsuit against the CIA, a group of well-known authors demanded that the agency releases all documents pertaining to the Kennedy assassination, perhaps in an attempt to enlarge resources for new novels
Not quite.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. Demand 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 demanded that should be in base form. However, releases is not in base form - it's in the Present (V1) form.
What helps you 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. In a 2003 lawsuit against the CIA, a group of well-known authors demanded that the agency release all documents pertaining to the Kennedy assassination, maybe in an attempt to enlarge resources for new novels
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the original Subjunctive mistake, it uses the word maybe, which is considered too simple for the GMAT. Thus, whenever you see the word maybe in a Sentence Correction question, eliminate all answer choices that include it, and choose answer choices that use perhaps, possibly or probably instead.
C. Possibly in an attempt to enlarge resources for new novels, a group of well-known authors, in a 2003 lawsuit against the CIA, demanded that the agency will release all documents pertaining to the Kennedy assassination
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original subjunctive error and is grammatically incorrect. Demand 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 demanded that should be in base form. However, will release is not in base form.
D. In a 2003 lawsuit against the CIA, a group of well-known authors demanded that the agency would release all documents pertaining to the Kennedy assassination, perhaps in an attempt to enlarge resources for new novels
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original subjunctive error and is grammatically incorrect. Demand 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 demanded that should be in base form. However, would release is not in base form.
E. A group of well-known authors, in a 2003 lawsuit against the CIA, demanded that the agency release all documents pertaining to the Kennedy assassination, possibly in an attempt to enlarge resources for the writing of new novels
Demand 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 demanded that should be in base form (release).
Although this sentence is more wordy than the other options, it is the only sentence that is grammatically correct.
