Question
Not only the threats but also torture ___________ used to intimidate opposition to his rule.Question 17Select one:a.haveb.wasc.wered.has
Solution
The correct answer is b. was.
The rule here is that when "not only... but also" is used, the verb should agree with the subject closer to it. In this case, the subject closer to the verb is "torture", which is singular. Therefore, the singular form "was" should be used.
