Where’s the verb in this sentence?
« on: February 27, 2019, 10:23:03 AM »
From time to time, I receive email notifications from a company known as “powermaxph.com” on various business-related seminars. Today, the notification that I received contains this sentence:

“It is imperative that all BUSINESS OWNERS AND EXECUTIVES, ALL EMPLOYERS, EMPLOYEES, HR MANAGERS AND HR PROFESSIONALS, LINE MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS, AS WELL AS UNION LEADERS, EVEN THE LABOR ARBITERS, VOLUNTARY ARBITRATORS and all those involve in labor dispute settlement, and resolution of conflicts concerning human behavior in business and other organizations, as well as the legal and behavioral implications of such behavior to productivity, quality and profitability, competitiveness and continuing survival of businesses in a globalized economy.”

Questions:

1. Can you find the verb in the sentence above?

2. Can you find the error in the sentence that could either be a typo or a grammatical error?

3. Bryan Garner (editor-in-chief of Black’s law Dictionary) says that enumerations must be placed at the last part of a sentence or a paragraph. How would you rewrite this sentence to comply with Garner’s guideline?

4. How else would you rewrite this sentence to achieve clarity and concision?
