[Video] Q43: A) no change or b) have highlighted or c) would highlight or d) highlights

Explanation for Question 43 From the Writing Section on the 2018 April Sat

Hey guys, question 43 is having us use the word highlight and checking both 2 attempt and the correct plurality to be using the sentence. 3 This says the success of these businesses highlight that paying workers 4 well blank. So what are we saying highlights while we're saying 5 that the success is the thing that is doing the highlighting. 6 And the thing about this is that the success is a singular item. 7 It's not the successes, it's the success. 8 So when we say highlight, we don't, we highlight would be for plural. 9 Like they, they highlight, they are able to highlight this, 10 versus he highlights this, 11 like they highlight this versus he highlights this. 12 So this is a singular, we need to be using a singular form so 13 we can get rid of the no change option that says highlight. 14 Um, and we can be pretty confident in highlights. Let's look at these other 15 things have highlighted, um, 16 is also, um, we're going to be plural. 17 They have highlighted, um, have, 18 is that something you would use for a plural item? Whereas a singular thing, 19 the success you would say has, 20 so they have versus he has. 21 Um, and for that reason, we know that have, 22 is going to be wrong now would highlight is also wrong because of the 23 fact that it's not saying it would highlight, it's saying it does highlight this, 24 it's highlighting this in the moment. It's not a future tense, 25 something that might do, it's saying it's happening right now. 26 So for that reason, we can be confident that highlights is the correct thing.
