Hello, I was doing my GMAT practice test and I got these questions wrong because the test point is subject/verb agreement and I picked the wrong subject. Three questions:
1.
Playwright Samuel Becket, whose well crafted works, unsympathetic examination of the human condition, and theatrical techniques, were given recognition by critics, and also served to influence many writers, that included Edward Albee and Paul Vogel whose writing styles differed from his own.
What's subject in this sentence? I think the subject is Playwright Samuel Becket, which is singular but the correct answers says the subject is "well crafted works, unsympathetic examination of the human condition, and theatrical techniques", which is plural. Why? Please help!
