      Question

      She suggested that / we should start the meeting / as

      soon as everyone arrives / to avoid any delays. The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
      A as soon as everyone arrives Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B we should start the meeting Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C She suggested that Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D to avoid any delays Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The correct phrase should be "we start the meeting" instead of "we should start the meeting." In sentences that use verbs like "suggest," "recommend," or "insist," the subjunctive mood is used, which omits "should" after these verbs. Therefore, the correct construction is "She suggested that we start the meeting."
