If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).

    A 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct form is "that the policy be reviewed." In a sentence expressing a suggestion, demand, or recommendation, the subjunctive mood is used. "Be" is the base form of the verb and is appropriate here instead of "is."
    "The committee has recommended that the policy be reviewed regularly to ensure it remains effective and relevant."
