在众多的GMAT考试解题的思路和技巧中，一个非常关键的就是动词的分析技术。动词在句子中的作用好比是汽车的发动机。应该说动词是一个句子的核心灵魂。在GMAT语法考题中，只要考生看到东西，就一定要立即反应出一系列动词相关的解题技术。
每当遇到动词，不得不立即反应出这个动词的逻辑主语或者逻辑宾语到底是哪个名词短语。千万不能忽略这个环节。否则就出现严重的错误，至少解题速度和精度都下降。举例一道题目分析：
The suspect in the burglary was advised of his right to remain silent， told he could not leave， and was interrogated in a detention room。
(A)of his right to remain silent， told he could not leave， and was
(B)of his right to remain silent， told he could not leave， and
(C)his right to remain silent and that he could not leave and
(D)that he had a right to remain silent， could not leave， and was
(E)that he had a right to remain silent， that he could not leave， and was
考生只要看到这个划线部分，不要立即反应介词OF而是立即反映出划线部分出现了三个动词，REMIAN，TOLD，WAS这三个动词究竟是谁发出的? 带着这个问题进入题目的阅读，应该是 was advised，was told，and was interrogated，都是suspect成为三个动词的承受着，而由于使用的被动态逻辑主语的重要性让位给逻辑宾语。当把题目理解到这个层面上的时候，再分析三个动词的并列关系，立即得出正确答案是B。因为B 缩减为：
……was advised to remian，(was) told (that)he……and (was)interrogated……其它所有选项都存在并列不对称错误，具体说是：
A 选项的错误在and 之前动词was的多余
C 选项的错误是and that 之前并没有that，并列不对称
D 选项的错误是 right to 后面的整体并列不对称
E 选项的错误是 that 从句不和and was并列。
当然本题的第二种解题方法，是纯粹利用选项差异原则求解，看项尾差异在于有was 还是没有was，根据并列关系进行排除。五中选二，确定为BC，而C 中THAT 并列错误。得出正确选项B。
