1.
Sentence:
The professor, as well as several of her colleagues, ___ expected to speak at the conference next month.
✅ Correct answer: C) is
🟥 Your answer: A) are ❌
Explanation:
The true subject is “The professor” — singular.
“as well as several of her colleagues” is a parenthetical modifier and does not affect the verb.
So the sentence is: “The professor is expected…”
🧠 Rule: "As well as," "along with," "in addition to" do not make the subject plural.
2.
Sentence:
The results of the study, which ___ published in a leading journal, have already sparked intense debate.
✅ Correct answer: B) were
🟩 Your answer: B) were ✔️
Explanation:
The subject is “results” → plural.
The clause “which ___ published…” describes the results, so the verb must also be plural: were published.
🧠 Tip: Always match the verb in the relative clause to the noun it's modifying.
3.
Sentence:
He is not only a skilled researcher but also ___ an effective communicator.
✅ Correct answer: D) Ø (no verb)
🟩 Your answer: D) Ø ✔️
Explanation:
The sentence already has the verb “is,” so it doesn't need to be repeated.
“He is not only a skilled researcher but also an effective communicator.”
🧠 Parallel structure alert!
→ "a skilled researcher" // "an effective communicator" — both noun phrases, both follow the same main verb.
4.
Sentence:
While the early trials were promising, the final results were less ___ than anticipated.
✅ Correct answer: B) conclusive
🟩 Your answer: B) conclusive ✔️
Explanation:
"Less ___ than" requires a comparative adjective.
"Conclusive" is the correct adjective form.
"Conclusively" is an adverb — doesn’t work here.
🧠 Tip: GRE loves testing the difference between adjective and adverb, especially in “less/more than” constructions.
5.
Sentence:
The committee was divided over whether to approve the plan, ___ the potential risks it involved.
✅ Correct answer: A) in light of
🟩 Your answer: A) in light of ✔️
Explanation:
“In light of” means considering or taking into account, which logically fits here.
“...divided… in light of the risks” = natural cause-effect flow.
“Despite of” is not a correct phrase (should be just “despite”).
