That always modifies the noun before it. In this question, shouldn't "fixtures that are bringing" be correct?
Please reply.


Hi Himanshurajawat, maybe I can help.

Here, the relative pronoun "that" modifies "market" as it is the market itself that brings back the lounge, sofa etc... the lounge sofa etc. are just examples of the furniture contained in the market, so logically that must only modify "market".

To make this easier to see notice that "for bygone styles ..." is a prepositional modifier that also attaches to market. We can actually remove this and the sentence will still make sense.

Try to think of this more logically. It would be illogical to say the "furniture and fixtures bring back the <example of a furniture">"

This would be akin to saying
"Out of America's fascination with all things fast food have grown a restaurant for fatty burgers that are bringing back the whopper- burger, double-double burger and..."

So we would need to correct this
"Out of America's fascination with all things fast food has grown a restaurant for fatty burgers that is bringing back the whopper- burger, double-double burger and..."

hopefully my example makes more sense.

And this is the reason we at Veritas don't like to spell out "rules" for SC but instead focus on logic. "that" usually modifies the noun before it. But this is an official question and here, that modifies a noun far away from it - a noun which matches it in number (singular "that is" with singular "market") and is reasonable in context (a market can bring back particular pieces of furniture).
Since the official question places 'that' far away from its noun, there is no debate.

As you can see, its now easier to figure out the right answer.
fascination->singular->has
market->singular->is

Actually it should be the other way round.

market->singular->has
fascination->singular->is

market...has grown.. and fascination ...is bringing back the chaise lounge, .....

p.s. Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses inverted sentences. If you can PM you email-id, I can send you the corresponding section.

Hi EducationAisle
I am bit confused with the highlighted part! Are you saying that 'fascination' is the subject of IS? Could you clarify the matter, please?
Thanks__

Eliminate A, D as HAVE cannot refer to Market, Has does

eliminate C, E as the action of Bring is perfomed by Market and not by bygone styles of furniture and fixtures
As market is singular, we need brings

Hi TheUltimateWinner, I can understand how this could lead to confusion.

Out of America's fascination with all things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

So, it's like this:

Market...has grown...

Market...is bringing back...

Sorry for the confusion.

GMATNinja, egmat, GMATninja2 hi, I thought antique as the subject here and based on that I have chosen option B, but the subject here is a market, which is after a verb. can u please explain y it is the subject? also can u please provide a few more examples of this sort where the verb precedes the subject.

Hello Manoj1998,

We hope this finds you well.

Having gone through the question and your query, we believe that we can help resolve your doubt.

When identifying the subject of a sentence, it is important to consider meaning. The subject is whatever takes action; this means that the subject is whatever the active verb refers to. In this case, the active verb is "has grown", and it refers to "market" because it is the market that has taken the action of growing. Some other examples of the particular structure that this sentence employs are "From humble beginnings, can rise great people." "In the hut, lived the old man."

We hope this helps.
All the best!

It's a more unusual (and therefore harder to spot) structure, but sometimes the subject of a verb does come after the verb.

A common structure for this is like the sentence in this question:

[modifier] [verb] [subject]

For example:

Under the ocean live many creatures so unusual looking that they could be from other planets.

In the fancy apartment building live some of the wealthiest people in the city.

Exemplifying the degradation of standards in architectural practices are the building recently constructed in the city that seems to be little more than a tall box, and the bridge that was finished last year, which is functional but hardly pleasant on the eyes.



Similar agreement needs to be found in 'there is' or 'there are' clauses.

There IS a dog on the corner.

There ARE a dog and a cat on the corner.

At the end of the street, there are a bagel shop that makes its bagels fresh every morning and a cafe that imports fine coffee from Brazil.
