Please 1) Would you use eliminate or eliminates and "are" or "be" in these sentences "It not required that the candidate eliminate(s) every phonological sign of his or her mother tongue." " Therefore non-native speakers will hardly ever produce these vowel segments. It is fundamental that distinctive distances be/are kept." 2) Would you use "aiming" or "aimed" to/at in this sentence The test has been going through an implementation phase to be part of a proficiency exam aiming/aimed at/to also test/testing candidates in written skills."

Help with question

Hi, there

Could you help me with a two questions? Please

1) Would you use eliminate or eliminates and "are" or "be" in these sentences

"It not required that the candidate eliminate(s) that candidates eliminate every phonological sign of his or her their mother tongue." 
" Therefore non-native speakers will hardly ever produce these vowel segments. It is fundamentally important that distinctive distances are kept." (I don't understand what you intend to say in this last sentence, so I suggested one possible correction.)

2) Would you use "aiming" or "aimed" to/at in this sentence

The test has been going through an implementation phase, with the idea that it could become to be part of a proficiency exam aimed at/to also test/testing candidates' in written skills."


Thank you very much!
