Query



this reminds me of yet another sentence from OG 12
SC q 87

In an effort to reduce their inventories,italian vintners have cut prices; their wines are priced to sell and they DO

i this type of sentence the options included sentences ending with
THEY ARE
THEY HAVE
THEY DO
and HAVE
and THEY HAVE

OG says conjugate the ending to go with SELL

Author then says that end the sentence with LOGICAL
SELL
SELLING
SOLD

Where SELL "they DO sell" matches with the FORMER part of the sentence, the game is done
CHOOSE that option


Is ur above post pointing in the same direcetion
or I am mixing two things here ??

MGMAT deals with SV agreement.
