Sentence-
while serving six years sentence imposed by the British colonial government in India, a through review of Bhagbad Gita was completed by Tilak in 1910 and thereby learned the possible paths to liberation with emphasis on Karma yoga.
Doubt-
I understand the error on this statement but I want to know why grammatically 'review' is the subject of 'learned' on the above statement. Can someone please explain?

Hi,
There is a modifier error.
<while serving six years sentence imposed by the British colonial government in India> This modifies Tilak.
Hence the sentence will be this way.
While serving six years sentence imposed by the British colonial government in India, Tilak completed a thorough review of Bhagbad Gitain 1910 and thereby learned the possible paths to liberation with emphasis on Karma yoga.
So Sub : Tilak, Verbs are complete, learn.
Hope it answers ur question.

Hey Satya001
The simplest way out of such a situation is to visualize the Sentence Structure. Allow me explain:
Sentence Structure:
While serving six years sentence imposed by the British colonial government in India, a through review of Bhagbad Gita was completed by Tilak in 1910 and thereby learned the possible paths to liberation with emphasis on Karma yoga.
- While serving six years sentence
- imposed by the British colonial government in India,
- a through review of Bhagbad Gita
- was completed by Tilak in 1910 and thereby
- learned the possible paths to liberation with emphasis on Karma yoga.
Observations:
As you can see from the above, the subject "review" has two verb phrase joined by "and" - "was completed" and "learned". This is why "learned" is the second verb of the subject "review".
Conclusion:
It is important to start Sentence Correction by first covering the basics of grammar and learning how to derive the Structure of Long Sentences along with Meaning Analysis. Once you have that in your grasps, SC will be a walk in the park.
I hope this helps.
Happy Learning!
