Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fill(s) the gap:

Knowledge of figures of speech as well as idioms and lexical items _____ in this section

Answer Details
The subject of the sentence is "Knowledge of figures of speech as well as idioms and lexical items", which is a plural noun phrase. Therefore, we need to use a plural verb to agree with the subject. Out of the given options, the phrase that correctly fits the sentence and makes grammatical sense is "is tested". This phrase uses the singular verb "is" to agree with the singular noun "knowledge", which is the subject of the sentence. Even though the subject of the sentence contains multiple elements, the subject itself is singular. Therefore, the correct verb to use is the singular "is".
