(E) has a verb issue as well: "the rate at which the inventory acquisition and transaction occur are called," here "are" should be replaced by "is" as "the rate" takes a singular verb

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



There is a difference in the way the term "turnover" and the term "revenue" is used in business across the Atlantic; in the United States, "turnover" refers to how rapidly the inventory acquisition and transaction occurs whereas in Europe "turnover" refers to a company's income, known in the States as revenue.


(A) way the term "turnover" and the term "revenue" is used in business across the Atlantic; in the States, "turnover" refers to how rapidly the inventory acquisition and transaction occurs whereas

Incorrect.

The original sentence is grammatically incorrect. It contains two Subject Verb Agreement mistakes.

First, the plural subject the term turnover and the term revenue does not agree with the singular verb is. In addition, the plural subject the inventory acquisition and transaction does not agree with the singular verb occurs.

What helps us identify this question as a Subject Verb Agreement question and helps us detect these mistakes is the following Stop Sign:

    A plural subject made up of singular nouns connected by and


(B) use of the term "turnover" and the term "revenue" in business across the Atlantic; in the United States, "turnover" refers to how rapidly the inventory acquisition and transaction occurs whereas

Incorrect.

Although this answer choice corrects one of the original Subject Verb Agreement mistakes, it repeats the other one. The plural subject the inventory acquisition and transaction does not agree with the singular verb occurs.

What helps us identify this question as a Subject Verb Agreement question as well as detect this mistake is the following Stop Sign:

    A plural subject made up of singular nouns connected by and



(C) way the term "turnover" and the term "revenue" are used in business across the Atlantic; in the United States, "turnover" refers to how rapidly the inventory acquisition and transaction occur since

Not exactly.

Although it corrects both original Subject Verb Agreement mistakes, this answer choice changes the meaning of the sentence by replacing the opposition word whereas to the reason word since, creating a cause and effect relationship that was not present in the original sentence.


(D) usage of the term "turnover" and the term "revenue" in business across the Atlantic; the rapidness of inventory acquisition and transaction is called "turnover" in the United States whereas

The original sentence is grammatically incorrect. It contains two Subject Verb Agreement mistakes.

First, the plural subject the term turnover and the term revenue does not agree with the singular verb is. In addition, the plural subject the inventory acquisition and transaction does not agree with the singular verb occurs.

This answer choice corrects the two original mistakes by turning the clause the way the term revenue and the term turnover is used into a noun phrase, with no subject or verb: the usage of A and B. If there is no verb there can be no Subject-Verb Agreement mistake (!)

The remainder of the sentence is changed by adding the rapidness as the singular subject of the second clause. The rapidness of A and B is an X of Y subject, and is thus singular according to the X.

What helps us identify this question as a Subject Verb Agreement question and helps us detect these mistakes are the following Stop Signs:

    A plural subject made up of singular nouns connected by and

    An X of Y subject


(E) way the term "turnover" and the term "revenue" are used in business across the Atlantic; in the United States, the rate at which the inventory acquisition and transaction occur are called "turnover" whereas

Not quite.

Although it corrects both original Subject Verb Agreement mistakes, this answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The singular subject rate does not agree with the plural verb are.

What helps us identify this question as a Subject Verb Agreement question as well as detect this mistake is the following Stop Sign:

    A long complex subject / long distance between subject and verb
