Reason for underlining some phrases/words in lesson?

I am being distracted trying to understand the underlining in a number of examples above (and probably shouldn't be, I know). Can't help but feel I am missing the significance - which I am if there is some!  The underlining doesn't coincide with le subjonctif passé phrase - the topic of the lesson. Is it just confirming all the examples need the subjunctive? 

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate verbs in the subjunctive past in French (Le Subjonctif Passé)"

The underlined group of words is the justifying reason for using the subjunctive, not the subjunctive itself, which is rendered in bold.
