I didn't get rid of the right answer, it has to be either A or D!

You're going with subjunctive... Is that your... final answer???

It's gone to orange!!!

The question was: In which mood is the verb "be" in the sentence "The judge insisted that the case be thrown out"?

The last question that was aborted had as its answer... subjunctive

The answer to this question was.................

D) Subjunctive

There is one important difference between the two; the first question used the past subjunctive, whereas this other one that you answered right used the present subjunctive.

The subjunctive mood is a little understood mood in English and is used in the case of things that are not the case but are being supposed or suggested, like being rich or the case being thrown out as in the two questions. It gets used much more in other languages such as French.

So, you're right, and you're up to £150,000. You're just three away from a million; stand by for Q10...

Cadence was released in 1990 and starred Martin and Charlie Sheen.



Wall Street was released in 1987 and starred Martin and Charlie Sheen. So that puts it in the lead.

Platoon was released in....
















1986.













But it DIDN'T star Martin Sheen, so that rules that one out.




Ferris Bueller's Day Off was released in....
















1986 as well.













But it DIDN'T star Martin Sheen either, so that rules that one out too, leaving Wall Street as the earliest of the four movies, and means you're right, you're up to £250k!!!

Stand by for Q11, and you have Ask the Audience left!
