Hi prachigautam, not sure if you noticed the structure a diver ascend.

With a diver (singular), you would normally expect singular verb ascends. However, the presence of ascend here is a hint of the usage of subjunctive.

Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses Subjunctive, its application and examples in significant detail. If someone is interested, PM me your email-id; I can mail the corresponding section.
