Question

The architect proposed that supplies for the new wing of the hospital, which hospital administrators hoped to open by the end of the year, will be procured from local providers.

Options:

A . that supplies for the new wing of the hospital, which hospital administrators hoped to open by the end of the year, will be

B . that supplies for the hospital's new wing, which hospital administrators hope to be opened by the end of the year, be

C . that the hospital's new wing's supplies, which hospital administrators hope to be opened by year's end, might be

D . that supplies for the hospital's new wing, which hospital administrators hope to open by the end of the year, be

E . ABABA

Answer: Option D
:
D
The phrase proposed that creates a situation in which the subjunctive must be used. Thefollowing verb, initially will be, needs to become be in order to be correct, so you can eliminate (A). Of the remaining choices, you can eliminate (C) for misplacing a modifier. By placing supplies at the end of the first phrase, choice (C) illogically suggests that the administrators want the supplies to be opened. (D) is better than (B) because to open is clearer and less wordy than the passive to be opened.
Hence, the most appropriate choice is (D).
