Hi-
Why isn't accentuates, accentuate ? Isn't accentuates singular?

In the 'that clause' - 'that accentuates their luxury-laden lives' - the subject of the clause is 'that' which is a placeholder for 'a modern design ethic'.
The modern design ethic accentuates their luxury-laden lives. The subject is singular (anyway obvious from the use of article 'a' before modern design ethic) and hence needs a singular verb - accentuates.
P.S. - Questions should be put in their respective forums.
Although there are other errors regarding oprion E, is using verbing modifier a correct usage?
My reasoning is, the professionals have embraced a ethic and as a result, their luxury-laden lives are accentuated. Is my reasoning wrong with respect to the usage of Verb+ing modifier?
