Hi, Guys! Thanks for constant advice. I have two questions please:
1. Why in this sentence considered correct by MGMAT? IMO "make" should actually be "makes":
The editor of the newspaper would later make his reputation as a union firebrand
2. Why is this sentence considered correct by MGMAT exercise? IMO we shouldn't have the "that" in this sentence. IMO, when we take out the prepositional phrases (underlined) the sentence becomes: "A company that specializes, to be able to ascertain numerous truths" which sounds awkward, but if we take off "that" it sounds fine IMO: "A company specializes, to be able to ascertain numerous truths"
A company that specializes in the analysis of body language purports, from a one-minute video of a person's speech, to be able to ascertain numerous truths about the person
Best! Thanks on helping with my foundations

Hi sweetlyimproved
"Would" is a modal verb, and the verb following it must be in the infinitive form.
"The editor would make" is correct, not "the editor would makes"
"later" is just an adverb, so don't get confused
other modal verbs include: must, shall, will, should, would, can, could, may, and might.
lets find the subject and the verb of the sentence, and it will be clearer.
the subject is "Company"
the verb is "purports" and this verb needs a proposition "to"
if we remove the modifiers and focus only on the main construct of the clause, it will be:
A companythat specializes in the analysis of body language purports, from a one-minute video of a person's speech, to be able to ascertain numerous truths about the person
A company purports to be able to ascertain truths
what is the role of the other parts? the role is to add more meaning and definition (called modifiers):
"that specializes in the analysis of body language" ----> answers the question: which company we are talking about?
"from a one-minute video of a person's speech" ----> answer the question: how the analysis is done?
"numerous" and "about the person" ---> answers more details about "truths"
If you are building your fundamentals, I recommend you watch this playlist and try to write down notes of what you learn from it:

this playlist is not everything, but a good start (in my opinion)
