The increase in real GDP

by GmatKiss » Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:43 am

The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from
nonresidential fixed investment, exports, personal consumption expenditures (PCE), and federal
government spending that were partly offset by negative contributions from state and local government spending and private inventory investment

IMO: reflects,spendings,investments

Please correct me if am wrong!

I will go with
1) reflected - there is a "were partly offset" , indicating simple past(for reflects to be correct, it should be " have been partly offset")

2) spending - (state and local govt is generally treated as one)

3) investment -(private inventory is only one type of investment).
