Jamboree Question of the Day - Day 81, Feb 1st 2011

Most state constitutions now mandate that the state budget be balanced each year.


(A) mandate that the state budget be balanced
(B) mandate the state budget to be balanced
(C) mandate that the state budget will be balanced
(D) have a mandate for a balanced state budget
(E) have a mandate to balance the state budget

Solution (Posted on Feb 2nd):

Choice A gives the right construction with subjunctive - mandate and the simple form of verb - be balanced. Thus A remains.
