What looked to be the season's biggest thunderstorm suddenly swept into town. We suggested that Brenda drive to Grandfather's
house instead of walking in the rain, but she waved our idea away as if she were a child responding to an overprotective mother.
Clutching her umbrella, Brenda disappeared in the blur of the pouring rain.

I need right not the question Is select the underlined verb in the paragraph that is used as a subjunctive mood the paragraph is up above so please read it and give me your answers

Answer 1

The verb in the passage that is in the subjunctive mood is: drive.

Step-by-step explanation:

In English, the subjunctive mood is used to express wishes, demands, suggestions, possibilities or hypothetical situations. There are a few verbs that will attract, so to speak, a subjunctive verb: demand, insist, and suggest. That is precisely what happens in the passage we are analyzing here. In the sentence, "We suggested that Brenda drive to Grandfather's. . ." we have "suggested" attracting the verb "drive" in the subjunctive mood. Notice that it would be wrong to say "drives" in this case.
