Asked in Premeth Test 37 — Chemical EquilibriumModerate

To an outsider, the economics of this country ---- to be in disarray

Correct answer: B. Seems

  • A. Seem
  • B. Seems
  • C. Seemed
  • D. Seeming

Explanation

The correct answer is 'seems.' In this sentence, 'economics' is a collective noun that refers to the field as a singular concept, thus requiring the singular verb form 'seems.' The incorrect choice 'seem' indicates a plural subject, which does not apply here. 'Seemed' is in the past tense, making it unsuitable for describing the current situation, and 'seeming' is a participle that cannot be used as the main verb within this sentence. Therefore, the only grammatically correct option is 'seems.'

About Chemical Equilibrium

Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
