You're right.
Model is the subject. Suggests is the verb.
"THAT executives blah blah" is the object or WHAT the model suggests.
Executives is a subject of the clause; so not the main subject.
Examine has to be in agreement with executives.

Here's my advice HAVE DECIDED (have + past participle) is an example of the present perfect tense. Present perfect tense is used for an action that BEGAN in the PAST and is STILL GOING ON in the present OR an action that began in the past and IS FINISHED BY THE TIME THE SPEAKING IS DONE. So, When yo...

I think the example that you read in Kaplan is referring to the use of "one" as a subject pronoun Compare the following: "A person should leave light on in an empty house if one wants to give impression that someone is at home" The subject of the first sentence is "a person&...

Words like may, might, possibly, could, perhaps are words that give the impression of POSSIBILITY. If the ORIGINAL has those kind of words, we can't correct a sentence and change the implication of the original. A (the original) says that it MAY increase the possibility B says that not only that it ...

RULE: If a noun is neither subject or object of main clause/sentence then it doesn't introduce pronoun ambiguity in that sentence. @kvcpk, I want to make sure I understand this well. So since tourists and visitors are neither (1) the subject (which is chambers) nor (2) direct object (can't find one...

I would go with C I eliminated all verbs that had "seem" because "disappearance" is the singular subject and requires the verb "seems." Left with B, C, E. E is out because inevitable is an adjective that cannot appear before doomed. Left with B, C. Who requires what? Th...

A few things that have been helping me (I'm a lot like you by the way, high Quant, lower verbal). Can't say they're that magic pill we all want, but they help. (1) Look for 3/2 splits. This completely changed the way that I look at SC. After I read the sentence carefully, I glance through the answer...

The parallelism issue almost threw me off too. I think it's a bit confusing because you see "found" and "resembling" and think "How am I going to get them to match?" I realized that I wanted to say "is found" and "resembles", which isn't an option. A...

Whom is an object (similar to him, her, them) Who is a subject (similar to I, he, she, we, they) I always test another object to make sure whom is the best fit. One of "them" is blind. I would never say "Presenters at the seminar, one of they is blind..." so I know that it needs ...

Federal Law and flights
Federal law prohibits businesses from reimbursing any employees for the cost of owning and operating a private aircraft that is used for business purposes. Thus, many American companies themselves purchase private aircraft. The vast majority of the business aviation fleet is owned by small and mid-s...

Free MGMAT CAT
I just took the free CAT offered by MGMAT. My math quant, which was 47 on the GMAT practice test 1 and 49 on the Free Knewton CAT, only hit 43. I thought the problems were extremely time consuming and tricky. I have done all of the OG problems and found that even the hardest OG problems were not thi...

paes, Choice B: as much FOR HAVING.... as FOR SKILLFUL WAX.... The FOR matches but HAVING is not parallel to SKILLFUL WAX. One is a gerund (a verb ending in ING) and the other is a noun. Wrong. Even though they both have "for" they are not parallel because what follows the "for" ...

This sentence question is all about parallelism within the idiom. Once I started recognizing these, they became much easier because incorrect parallelism is WRONG, it's not a style preference. So, the idiom here is as much _____ as _____ Choice A: as much BECAUSE OF HAVING.... as FOR HAVING............
