Question

Please help me to find the right answer

An actor spoke on condition" that his name will not be used in the press".

A.
B. that his name are not used in the press
C. of not naming him

anandnk · Answer

(A) is better. But I believe (A) still needs subjunctive mood.
Where did you get this question???

anandnk · Answer

I take back my comment on (A). There is no need to have subjunctive mood.

E. of not having his name

anandnk · Answer

I was right and then I was wrong again. Refer to this link. https://www.testmagic.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=256 As per this Subjunctive mood is necessary. (D) is the best.

Hi, Oksana,

In this case D should be the answer. Actually "on condition that" can be used with simple tenses, e.g. I'll come to the party on condition that you don't wear that ridiculous bow tie! Subjunctive mood is used here to stress the formal nature of the actor's request.
