Questions & Answers about Es lógico que rechacemos el lote con defectos.

Why is rechacemos in the subjunctive here?
The phrase es lógico que is an impersonal expression that sets up a value judgment. In Spanish, whenever you evaluate a situation using the formula es + adjective + que, the action that follows must be in the subjunctive mood.
Why does rechazar change to rechacemos with a 'c' instead of a 'z'?
This is a strict spelling rule in Spanish. The letter 'z' changes to a 'c' whenever it is followed by an 'e'. Because the present subjunctive ending for the nosotros form of an -ar verb is -emos, the 'z' in rechazar must change to a 'c', giving us rechacemos.
Could I include the pronoun and say 'es lógico que nosotros rechacemos'?
Yes, but it is much more natural to leave it out. The -emos ending on rechacemos already makes it perfectly clear that 'we' are doing the rejecting. You would only add nosotros if you wanted to heavily emphasize that we are doing it, rather than someone else.
What kind of 'batch' does el lote refer to?
El lote is commonly used in business, manufacturing, and shipping to mean a 'lot' or 'batch' of products. In this sentence, it implies a group of manufactured items being evaluated for quality control.
