3

The committee members ______ the proposal every spring before sending it to the full board.

The subject 'members' is plural, so it needs the plural present-tense verb 'review.'

How to practice this topic

A few rules that make review sessions more useful.

  • For punctuation questions, identify whether each side of the punctuation could stand alone as a complete sentence.
  • For transition questions, decide whether the second sentence adds, contrasts, explains, or concludes.
  • For verb questions, find the real subject before looking at the answer choices.
