IMO D Since "since" is used we need to have a "have" :) Besides A,D,and E have dangling "they". That leaves us with C and D
I learnt recently that "allow" is not subjunctive because it doesnt indicate any desire per se. We can whack C too.
Since 1986 when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well. (A) investment officers fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began (B) investment officers fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began (C) that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun (D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun (E) that investment officers fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

Again, "stay away from apostrophe choices" as much as possible. Since-have begun is needed in this context, owing to a action-reaction continuum scenario.
I'll go wid E...clear case of subjunctive.. allow that...be... also allow requires that coz.. A-> refers to allow investment officers' fees not the investment officers' which is wrong construction. B->same reason C->lengthy... investment officers' fees is more concise D->same reason as A E-> corrects the errors..
wats d OA???
Hey pj02...my mistake.. subjunctive must not be called in as sentence doesn't deal wid uncertainty...cudnt get d rite way of thinking. this time i'm sure.. its D Reason.. it must include have begun.present perfect..C can b knocked out .. incorrect structure..
Sdt, please allow me to intrude ... subjunctive doesn't necessarily deal with uncertainly rather it deals with "desire". for example : request, recommend,, demand, suggest etc.

Bizz... If we have subjunctive mood... what are the words that should be in the sentence?
Good question!! I just googled and found below list ask, demand, determine, insist, move, order, pray, prefer, propose, recommend, regret,request, require, suggest, and wish.

How subjunctive mood thing made you to select D from C? just because of word " that" ?
nope. because of "be" "...officers be based on how the..."
usually when "to be" is shortened to just "be" , it indicates the presence of a subjunctive. similarly, when plural verb form is used for singular subject, you can think subjunctive.

Can you give one example of each? It will be good.

GMAT typically likes to follow words with that in a sentence. For example, on the GMAT it's better to say: - Lucise's belief that the Earth is flat was easily accepted. than to say: - Lucise's belief of the Earth being flat was easily accepted.
I am puzzled and unsure how to resolve this issue. Trying to explain; it may be a complete BS
In the example here, you are referring to the depth of a particular skill , not the number of skill(s). you will never say "he is many skillful"
you can also find many uses of "many skills ".
The fact that a noun has an explict plural form indicates that it is countable. It may have exceptions, which I am not sure of but in coarse manner, i would stick to this rule.

I agree... infact I just looked uo in a dictionary and found the below : "the basic skills of cooking" now if I were to complete this sentence -> i can't write "the basic skills of cooking IS easy to learn." It has to be : "the basic skills of cooking ARE easy to learn"
