Suggests that S+Should+V
Please look at this question.
"Financial advisers suggest that setting aside cash for emergencies_____ it easier for the first-time investor to recover from losses.
(a) makes (b)be made (c)make (d)made
[1]
The correct answer is "(a)makes". I'm a little confused on it because I've learned like this.
"When you want to use the verbs like insist,suggest,recommend,require and request", you should use a "that" clause and the verb inside the "that" clause together with an auxiliary verb of "should" inside. Definitely you can omit "should" inside "that" clause.".
According to this teaching of hers, It should be "(c)make", not "(a)makes".
Could you explain to me why "(c)make can't be a correct answer?
And,
[2]
"My mother recommended that my daughter should clean her room".
In this sentence which I've made, Is the meaning of "should" "have/has to" or " should better"?
I think its meaning "should better", but the others insist that it indicates "ought", so has to mean "have/has to".
[3]
Even though writing as follows.
My mother recommended that my daughter clean her room. (o)
My mother recommended that my daughter cleans her room(o)
Are both okay?
I'm sorry for my questions are a little long. If you give me kind answers, I will really appreciate them.
Thanks in advance.

I couldn't perfectly understand it, but your explanation is very helpful to me.Couldn't I ask you one more?
When the verb of "suggest" whose meaning is "propose" is used for "the subjunctive", Is the meaning of "should" "have/has to" or "should better"? Thank you for your answer in advance.

Son JamesWhen the verbShould would express expediency. Just note that should is never necessary or desirable it in such constructions. I would never say, for example, Iof"suggest"whosemeaning ismeans "propose" and is used with "the subjunctive", is the meaning of "should" "have/has to" or "should better"?
