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).

The original sentence makes sense to me completely. OA?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
