Question

Present Subjunctive (Mandative Subjunctive) a) It's essential that he is here. b) It's essential that he was here. c) It's essential that he be here. d) It's essential that he being here.

Answer 1

The correct option that uses the present subjunctive (mandative subjunctive) is:

c) It's essential that he be here.

In the present subjunctive, we use the base form of the verb (without the "-s" or "-es" ending) after certain expressions such as "It's essential that." The sentence expresses the necessity or requirement for him to be present.
