Sample angle 1
Choose the best version of the underlined portion: "The committee, along with several board members, (have decided to postpone the vote)."
The subject is "committee" (singular). "Along with several board members" is a parenthetical phrase and does not change the subject number.
Sample angle 2
Select the best version: "Neither the CEO nor the managers (was aware of the regulatory changes that had been implemented)."
With "neither...nor," the verb agrees with the closest subject: "managers" is plural, requiring "were."
Sample angle 3
Which version is most grammatically correct? "The new policy requires employees (to submit reports weekly, attending training monthly, and that they complete evaluations)."
The list must be parallel: "to submit...to attend...to complete" maintains consistent infinitive form.
Choose the best version of the underlined portion: "The committee, along with several board members, (have decided to postpone the vote)."
About the GMAT Sentence Correction and what to do after this result
GMAT Sentence Correction is one of three question types in the Verbal section of the GMAT, alongside Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. Each question presents a sentence with an underlined portion and five answer choices — option A is always the original, and you must select the best version including the original if it is correct. The GMAT tests a specific set of grammatical concepts: subject-verb agreement (especially with intervening clauses), pronoun agreement and reference, parallel structure (lists, comparisons, correlative conjunctions), modifier placement (dangling and misplaced modifiers), verb tense and mood, idiomatic usage, and logical predication. A key GMAT principle is that the correct answer is not merely grammatically acceptable but also clear, concise, and logically sound. Common traps include answer choices that fix one error while introducing another, verbose options that sound formal but are wordy, and distractor answers that use uncommon but technically correct constructions. Test takers who struggle typically have not internalized the priority order: eliminate choices with clear grammatical errors first, then compare remaining choices for clarity and concision. Strong GMAT scorers also recognize that eliminating wrong answers systematically is faster than evaluating every option from scratch. The GMAT Verbal section scores from 6-51; a competitive score for top business programs is 36 or above.
