Please anwer

Both "is" and "be" sound perfectly natural. The test probably is expecting "be" though because that is the subjunctive form.

"Be" .. tbough a massive miss from the question setter not taking the opportunity for "be" to be option C...

Be

I'm no expert, but I believe this is a subtlety of English's subjunctive mood: the committee is expressing its desire regarding "the matter". Hence why the answer is "be" -- that is the subjunctive inflection of the verb. If, on the other hand, you wanted to simply indicate the future state as a matter of fact, you would say, "...the matter _will be_ addressed."

be but this is weirdly formal English and the sentence would normally be structured otherwise

Be. Subjunctive.

Be addressed and is addressed are both correct by my standards

b)

Subjunctive. Use be. You can spot this case by the placement of the word *that* followed by a new subject for the clause. A common form: subject verb that (new subject) (subjunctive verb). It is important that we be diligent in this. In casual conversation you can use is or even will be, but be is correct.

It’s “be” because of the formal poetic construction used here

"Demand" is one of the small number of verbs that should grammatically be followed by the subjunctive in a sentence like this, so "be" is correct. However, English subjunctive has been dying for a long time, especially in American English, so you will often see "will be" or "is" from native speakers.

Be: it is proper to use the subjunctive in this instance.

‘Be’ implies it hasn’t been done yet, and concurs with the sentence provided. ‘Is’ may also work, but given the context, ‘be’ makes the most sense.

Why "will be" is incorrect?

"Be" is correct. "Will be" would be used if the committee was informing some other party about a course of action already decided upon in which the result can be predicted and guaranteed. For example: "I insist this *be* resolved now." "I insist this *be* resolved at a later time." "I believe this *will be* resolved at a later time." "The committee said the issue *will be* resolved tomorrow."

I mean, "Be" is correct for formal writing. but casually, people almost exclusively use "Is" in conversation.

B) be

Technically, grammatically, it is “be addressed” - but a fellow English speaker would understand you regardless of which response you used. subjunctive is often misused/not used even by native speakers

be

It's "be" because this is subjunctive, as others have said. However, "is" is often used in British English.

C)was

I’m pretty sure it’s “D”

"Be". Remnants of the English subjunctive mood.

b B be bee

B/Be

"be addressed" is correct

"be"

be. the verb demand requires that the subordinate clause be in the subjunctive

The only one that is completely wrong is C. The others can all work in colloquial speech. The most correct is B because of the subjunctive.

What site is this?

I can honestly see native speakers using everything here but the "was" option. Even "will be" doesn't sound completely wrong to me here

Both A and B are correct, I believe.

To me A, B, and D all sound correct. I don't think anyone would notice anything wrong if any of them were used

Be. It wouldn't make sense to demand something is or isn't, you can only change what will be.

Be... Subjunctive in English. Which is the worst subjunctive in all languages.

Is/be work, but 'be' is more correct because of the subjunctive mood. Tricky stuff!

"Is" sounds correct when I'm speaking, but grammatically, it should be "be".

I’m actually shocked B is is even possible

All would be acceptable expect C. But because of the word “demand”, B is best. It’s the most forceful conjugation of that verb, command form.
