<p>“Trained at the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan, artist Shahzia Sikander employs contemporary forms and styles to interpret the traditional South Asian art of miniature painting.” </p>
<p>why is employs right and not employ because it is talking about two subjects contemporary forms and styles
when do we use employ and when do we use employs</p>
<p>"studies of home remedies for mild burns have shown that honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that may promote healing
shouldnt here we use promotes? because it is just promoting one thing honey</p>
<p>The A(figures cited) in the report do not B(collaborate) the author’s claim that small hospitals C(generally provide) better patient care D(than do) large ones. E(no error)</p>
<p>shouldnt it be provides? because again same logic it is just providing one thing better patient care</p>
<p>For the first one, employs is correct because the verb must agree with the subject, not with the direct object. “Trained at the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan” is just a participial phrase modifying the subject, Shahzia Sikander. With this type of sentence, I mentally take out the modifying phrases in the sentence because they are only there to confuse you. Shahzia Sikander is the one doing the employing, so the correct form of the verb is “employs.”</p>
<p>For the second one, it’s basically the same issue. Properties is the subject of the main sentence. Don’t worry about the other clauses around the subject, just worry about the subject itself. Properties is plural, so the verb should be promote, not promotes.</p>
<p>For the last one, there is an error at B. It should be “corroborates” not “collaborates”. It’s just wrong word usage. Nothing wrong with “provides”.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!!!
This really helped me a lot</p>
