e. that we go

You could get away with Angel [A] though. The missing "that" would be assumed by the listener.

I agree with Rommie that ' suggest ' should be followed by a clause.

I suggest that we go ......Smile [:)]

applySmile [:)]

as long as ' suggest ' is used, the sentence is in subjunctive mood. So we use the original verb
