Can someone please explain why C is wrong ?
be complete and a prescribed format is followed -> looks parallel to me than
be complete and follow a prescribed format
C is wrong because it does NOT
keep the sentence parallel.
Option C: Bankers require that the financial information presented to them by mortgage applicants be complete and a prescribed format is followed
The structure of C is: X require THAT Y be complete and Z is followed
Firstly, because of "and" ==> 'be complete" and "Z is followed" must be parallel. But it's NOT the case here.
Secondly, if you think: [X require THAT y be complete and Z is followed] follows parallel structure ==> You MUST add a second "THAT
" before "Z is followed" ==> The sentence becomes:
X require THAT Y be complete and THAT Z is followed.
Hope it helps.
Please +1 KUDO if my post helps. Thank you.
