Hello,

This is from MGMAT SC guide (P. 49).

6) The recent string of burglaries, in addition to poor building maintenance, have inspired the outspoken resident to call a tenants meeting.

Ans:
The recent string of burglaries, in addtion to poor building maintenance, has inspired the outspoken resident to call a tenants meeting.

The book says that [spoiler]"String" is used here as a single collective noun.[/spoiler]
I thought that "String of burglaries" is the subject. Can you please assist?


7) There is, according to my doctor, many courses of treatment available to me.

My approach is as follows:

Subject: Many courses of treatment
Verb: There is

First I flip the sentence:

Many courses of treatment ARE available to me, according to my doctor.

Then I again re-arrange the sentence:

There ARE, according to my doctor, many courses of treatment available to me.

This is the answer mentioned in the book as well. Is this approach of mine correct? Thank for your help.

Regards,
Sri

Yes, subject is "String of burglaries", but it is singular.

Eg: The collection of paintings IS on display.
The team of six HAS arrived.
The book of thousand pages HAS been shipped.
