Choose the correct option if the given sentence is changed to the subjunctive mood:
Reena, read your books thoroughly.

The correct answer is '2' i.e. Reena should read her books thoroughly .

Key Points

• The subjunctive mood is used to express suggestions, demands, or hypothetical situations.
• The original sentence, "Reena, read your books thoroughly," is an imperative statement directing Reena to read her books.
• When changed to the subjunctive mood, it implies a suggestion or recommendation, which is represented by the modal verb "should."
• Therefore, "Reena should read her books thoroughly" correctly transforms the sentence into the subjunctive mood.

Correct sentence: Reena should read her books thoroughly.
