Explanation for Question 44 From the Writing Section on the 2017 April Sat

I know for our final question. Number 44 of this writing section, 2 the sentence starts off. However, proponents contend that the investment is worthwhile because 3 they enable companies to retain the most talented employees. 4 So what we're looking for as the appropriate way to frame this verb, 5 the appropriate tense, um, note that our subject for this sentence is the investment. 6 Um, proponents contend that these proponents are not the subject. 7 Um, the investment is the subject. The investment is worthwhile because the 8 investment enables companies. So this is our subject, 9 um, note that this is a singular subject, 10 the investment one investment. 11 So we can eliminate any plural pronouns or verb selections. 12 So the no change option uses. They that's going to be a plural. 13 So we can eliminate a B this use of those is also going to 14 be plural so we can eliminate B um, 15 our choices now are between C and D. 16 Any of them enables is not correct because we're talking about one 17 investment. There's no, any of them, 18 it's kind of unclear what that speaking to so we can eliminate C um, 19 choice D is a first answer. It enables it's very clear, 20 it's concise, and it uses the singular form, 21 um, a singular pronoun and a singular verb. 22 It enables so answer choice D is the correct answer to number 44, 23 and that concludes our April 7th, 2017 writing section.
