Many a delegate was in favor of his proposal that a special committee ______ to investigate the incident.

A、 is set up
B、 was set up
C、 be set up
D、 will be set up

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】考查虚拟语气。用于修饰proposal，suggestion，advice，demand，order，request等名词的同位语从句，其谓语动词常用虚拟语气，即“(should)+动词原形”，其中should可以省略。此题中的that从句是his proposal的同位语，故答案为C。
