Standard English Conventions practice question

Answer: A. review

After verbs of demand or recommendation — 'recommended that', 'insisted that' — the following verb takes its base form: 'that the firm review'.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. reviews

'reviews' is the ordinary present tense, but a recommendation calls for the base form.

C. reviewed

'reviewed' turns the recommendation into a past fact.

D. is reviewing

'is reviewing' describes something happening now, not something recommended.
