Verbal is hard to do inherently. There are just so many ways you can go with it that unless you have a fundamentally strong understanding of English, it's very very hard. That's where all the guides come in handy, like MGMAT or the GMAT Club Verbal book. Here's perhaps the best post I've ever seen put up (by "bb") due to how streamlined it makes the book selection process:

GMAT Fiction as posted by "bb" to get a better grasp of the language itsef:

Kaplan, and
GMAT Club tests (among others) along with the
Official Guide 12 and its predecessors (
OG 11 is very similar in overlap,
OG 10 has almost none).

Hope that helps!
