One Writing Question from Grubers

<p>We requested the superintendent of the building (to clean) up the storage room (in) the basement (so that) the children (had) enough space for their bicycles. </p>

<p>This is from Gruber's.
Does any body know the answer to this? Cause i sure as heck don't. All i know is that the answer is NOT (E), which was my first pick but i got it wrong, according to my tutor. (she never gave me the answer)</p>

<p>If i were to guess, i would say the answer is HAD simply because the tense is subjunctive, indicated by "requested"; so, it would have to be "Would have" or something (haha)</p>
