The correct present subjunctive passive of incipimus is __________.

incipiamur

incipiamus

inciperemus

inceperimus

incepissemus

Explanation

The original verb _incipimus_is first-person plural; therefore we must find the first-person plural passive subjunctive of this verb. The subjunctive stem for the verb incipere is incipia-, taking the "ia" as the marker for the subjunctive. We then add "mur" to the end to make it passive in the first-person plural present tense.
