Gonna make it this time

The sentence displays a subject-verb agreement error. The subject of the underlined, singular verb was is the plural all specimens. When the object of a preposition a clause beginning with the relative pronoun which, the verb within this clause often comes before the subject. Think: WHAT subject corresponds with the action? WHAT was or were remaining in the cup? All specimens is a plural subject.

Also, the rest of the clause is in the present tense but were remaining is in the past.

Choice C uses the plural and present tense verb remain and does not introduce additional errors.

Choice B connects a clause that is not independent (in which remaining...) to an independent clause with a comma and coordinating conjunction. Additionally, in which remaining is connected to the list of things that the rod is doing; it is illogical for the specimens to remain in the rod.

Choice D retains the subject-verb agreement error.

Choice E uses the pronoun it to refer to two different logical antecedents; the rod was bringing with it, referring to the rod, a cup-like apparatus, but remaining in it uses the pronoun to logically refer to the cup.

The correct answer is C.

Nusmavrik-

In this sentence the "specimen" are "remaining" in the apparatus.

If the "apparatus" were "remaining" it would illogically imply that the "apparatus remains specimen," which clearly cannot be the case.

Therefore we must find the answer in which either "the specimen remains" or "the specimens remain" and we find that in answer choice C.

Hope this was of some help...

Sameer

think you're missing the point...

the specimen (plural) remain in the apparatus. <--correct

the specimens (also plural) remains in the apparatus. <--incorrect

So D is not a viable answer choice, which is why C is the OA.

The apparatus is not the subject of the verb remain in this sentence.
