Test (follow-up a question)

Post by Rustamsher »

Dear teacher, I made a small (perhaps, BIG) mistake when copying the original test. It was the past simple not the present one.
I suggested she ... a car with the money she'd won.

(a) should buy
(b) buy
(c) bought
(d) buys

1) All the answers are grammatical except for (d);
2) (a) is used mainly in BrE;
3) (b) is used mostly in AmE;
4) (c) is the least formal among correct answers.

Dear teacher, are my inferences still correct?

Many thanks.
