SC 1000 - exigencies of dramatic art

by mehravikas » Tue Oct 13, 2009 12:17 pm
The exigencies of dramatic art, as shown even by the history plays of Shakespeare, makes the foreshortening of dramatized historical events inevitable.

(A) makes the foreshortening of dramatized historical events inevitable
(B) made dramatized historical events inevitably foreshortened
(C) make the foreshortening of dramatized historical events inevitable
(D) has inevitably foreshortened dramatized historical events
(E) inevitably foreshortens dramatized historical events

OA: C
Doubt: [spoiler]Any good reason to eliminate 'E'[/spoiler]

The exigencies.. require plural foreshorten not foreshortens as in choice E.

E. subject is exigencies. verb is foreshortens. Made, make, makes and has are uncessary.

Hey Crackgmat, D is wrong here because of the "has". It is singular, but word "exigencies" is in plural form.

Yeah I realised it later. It was such a silly one. I hope I dont miss this in the real thing.
