Let’s rephrase it with D.

We need a passive voice, that clause??? Convicts were convicted. Splendid!

Simple is beautiful, me sink.
Actually, this one has two correct answers – so maybe you didn’t really choose the wrong one after all.
(When taking a test, go with the sentence containing the subjunctive though – just to be on the safe side.)
Thank you The Best but…
I selected A and they say it is wrong.
[i]Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The subjunctive expression ‘insisted that the author pay’ is correct in C. A, B and D are wrong because they incorrectly insert ‘should’. E is incorrect because the ‘unwilling to shoulder the entire risk’ is incorrectly attributed to the author (dangling modifier problem).[/i]

Subjunctive
The following is a mini-tutorial on the use of the Subjunctive. After you have studied the tutorial, complete the associated exercises. If you already know how to use this verb form, you can skip the explanation and go directly to the exercises.
FORM
Use the simple form of the verb. The simple form is the infinitive without the “to.” The simple form of the verb “to go” is “go.” The Subjunctive is only noticeable in certain forms and tenses.
USE
The Subjunctive is used to emphasize urgency or importance. It is used after certain expressions (see below).
Examples:
I suggest that he study.
Is it essential that we be there?
Don recommended that you join the committee.
NOTICE
The Subjunctive is only noticeable in certain forms and tenses. In the examples below, the Subjunctive is not noticeable in the you-form of the verb, but it is noticeable in the he-form of the verb.
Examples:
You try to study often. you-form of "try"
It is important that you try to study often. Subjunctive form of "try" looks the same.
He tries to study often. he-form of "try"
It is important that he try to study often. Subjunctive form of "try" is noticeable here.
Verbs Followed by the Subjunctive
The Subjunctive is used after the following verbs:
to advise (that)
to ask (that)
to command (that)
to demand (that)
to desire (that)
to insist (that)
to propose (that)
to recommend (that)
to request (that)
to suggest (that)
to urge (that)
Examples:
Dr. Smith asked that Mark submit his research paper before the end of the month.
Donna requested Frank come to the party.
The teacher insists that her students be on time.
Expressions Followed by the Subjunctive
The Subjunctive is used after the following expressions:
It is best (that)
It is crucial (that)
It is desirable (that)
It is essential (that)
It is imperative (that)
It is important (that)
It is recommended (that)
It is urgent (that)
It is vital (that)
It is a good idea (that)
It is a bad idea (that)
Examples:
It is crucial that you be there before Tom arrives.
It is important she attend the meeting.
It is recommended that he take a gallon of water with him if he wants to hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Negative, Continuous and Passive Forms of Subjunctive
The Subjunctive can be used in negative, continuous and passive forms.
Negative Examples:
The boss insisted that Sam not be at the meeting.
The company asked that employees not accept personal phone calls during business hours.
I suggest that you not take the job without renegotiating the salary.
Passive Examples:
Jake recommended that Susan be hired immediately.
Christine demanded that I be allowed to take part in the negotiations.
We suggested that you be admitted to the organization.
Continuous Examples:
It is important that you be standing there when he gets off the plane.
It is crucial that a car be waiting for the boss when the meeting is over.
I propose that we all be waiting in Tim's apartment when he gets home.
Should as Subjunctive
After many of the above expressions, the word “should” is sometimes used to express the idea of subjunctiveness. This form is used more frequently in British English and is most common after the verbs “suggest,” “recommend” and “insist.”
Examples:
The doctor recommended that she should see a specialist about the problem.
Professor William suggested that Wilma should study harder for the final exam.

Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they? I try to be aware of the perfectly acceptable constructions that they don’t seem to accept, but I refuse to comply! ;-p
In a fairly recent thread: your/you reading
oxfordlearnersdictionaries.c … ish/insist
He insists that she come.
(British English also) He insists that she should come.
Yeah.
They are bound to say that.
But this one, it kills me.
Making use of contemporary diaries and letters, Florey’s complexity is brilliantly revealed by Lax.
A. Florey’s complexity is brilliantly revealed by Lax
B. Florey is brilliantly shown in all his complexity by Lax
C. Lax brilliantly reveals Florey’s complexity
D. Lax brilliantly revealed the complexity of Florey
E. Lax’s study has brilliantly revealed the complexity of Florey
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
After the modifier at the beginning of the sentence we need to know who is ‘making use’ of the materials. Unless we write ‘Lax’ after the comma the modifier will ‘dangle’. Hence we can eliminate A, B and E. (Note that Lax’s study is not the same as Lax!) As the sentence is a general statement we need the present tense and so C is correct.
You know , I do respect the Teacher of this site.
Have fun.
Oh, yes me the half pate did chose A. You know me?
So it goes.

EAGLES LYRICS
“Peaceful Easy Feeling”
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,
Against your skin, it’s so brown.
And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around.
'Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling,
And I know you won’t let me down
'cause I’m already standing on the ground.
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul.
Oh, but she can’t take you anyway,
You don’t already know how to go.
And I got a peaceful easy feeling,
And I know you won’t let me down
'cause I’m already standing on the ground.
I get this feeling I may know you as a lover and a friend.
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear,
Tells me I may never see you again.
'cause I get a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won’t let me down
'cause I’m already standing…
I’m already standing…
Yes, I’m already standing on the ground
Oh, oh
I get this feeling I may know you as a lover and a friend.
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear,
Tells me I may never see you again.
Oh, how do I miss my Grace.
Once you are in love, you live on eternally in death.
