Dear instructors,
I am confused with rise and raise, please help to clarify it.
OG16 SC #16
Rising inventories, when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales,
can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth.
(A) when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead
(B) when not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, possibly leads
(C) when they were unaccompanied by corresponding sales increases, can lead
(D) if not accompanied by correspondingly increased sales, possibly leads
(E) if not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, can lead
OA is [spoiler]E
[/spoiler]
IMO, rising inventories is an action, so it is singular subject, that's why I eliminate E, and pick up B
I cannot understand why rising inventories is a plural subject, why rising is a modifier of inventories, why it is not an action phrase?
please help
Thanks a lot
have a nice day
