Consider the following sentence: The invention of solid-state transistors (was/were) an important milestone in the field of electronics. According to rule of subject-verb agreement, we would use "was" if we were referring to "invention" and "were" if we were referring t...

Hi guys, I have so far taken 4 out of the 6 MGMAT CATS. I have heard people say on different forums that if you score consistently well in the first few cats, you subsequent CAT scores may be inflated because you deplete the question banks of tough questions. Here are my verbal scores so far: CAT 1:...
