Answer 1

The correct answer is C!

Reason: Subjunctive mood is when a verb expresses something that is wished, imagined or possible.

C's english translation is: It is unlikely that Curanderismo will help patients.

This sentence expresses something that is imagined and something impossible. We know this with the words "It is unlikely...".

Answer 2

C. ayude

Es improbable que el curanderismo ayude a los pacientes.

the infinitive is ayudar. The sentence expresses probability and possibility.
