As far as I have seen the two constructions are as follows

requries [subject] to [verb]: bill requires bank to disclose

requries that [subject] [verb]: bill requires that bank disclose

1 Are there any other construction that are possible?

2 Which one is more preferable? (Surely the choice would depend on specific example - could you still through some light)

This following question is from 1000 SC # 759 and has subject verb agreement problem, hence the above choice really does not come into play and C clear stands out.

[Deleted because this question is from a banned source - see below.]

Please read (and follow!) the forum guidelines before posting.

FYI: 1000SC is a banned source because it illegally uses copyrighted problems without permission. But even if it didn't, we'd ban it anyway - a lot of the problems in the set are fine, but there are a number of bad ones that can actually mess up your study if you use them!

The real issue here is this: when do we need to use "that" after the verb and when don't we?

The simplest way to think about it:
If what is being required (or whatever verb you happen to be using) is really just the single noun following, then you don't need to use the word "that." If what is being required, however, is a clause (a bunch of words including a verb), then you do need to use the word "that." Most of the time, on this test, it will be the latter.

So:
"The bill requires that the bank disclose its investors." The bill doesn't just require <the bank.> It requires <the bank to disclose its investors.>
"I require Amy's help." I am really just requiring a noun (help) - that's it.
"I require that Amy help me hang the picture." Now, I am requiring an action - a whole clause, not just a noun.
