Question 26

It is required that he send the payment immediately.

The correct form to complete the sentence is "send," which follows the subjunctive mood used in expressions of requirement or necessity.

A) Send

This option correctly uses the base form of the verb, which is appropriate in the subjunctive mood. In structures that express necessity, such as "It is required that," the base form is used regardless of the subject.

B) Sent

This option is incorrect because "sent" is the past tense of "send" and does not fit the grammatical structure required in this context. The subjunctive mood requires the base form of the verb, not its past tense.

C) Sends

This option is incorrect as "sends" is the third person singular present tense form of the verb. The sentence requires the subjunctive mood, which mandates the use of the base form "send" instead.

D) Sended

This option is incorrect as "sended" is not a standard form of the verb. The past tense of "send" is "sent," and "sended" is considered nonstandard in English.

Conclusion

The answer "send" is definitively the correct choice because it adheres to the grammatical requirements of the subjunctive mood, which is necessitated by the phrase "It is required that." All other options either misuse verb forms or do not reflect the necessary grammatical structure, confirming that they cannot complete the sentence properly.
