Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

takes

B

take

C

took

D

Correct Answer: B

Choice B is the best answer. Subjunctive after "essential that" uses base form.

Choice A is incorrect because indicative doesn't follow. Choice C is incorrect because past doesn't follow. Choice D is incorrect because progressive doesn't follow.
