In a crowded, acquisitive world, the disappearance of lifestyles such as those once followed by southern Africa’s Bushmen and Australia’s Aboriginal people, requiring vast wild spaces and permitting little accumulation of goods, seem inevitably doomed.
requiring vast wild spaces and permitting little accumulation of goods, seem inevitably doomed
requiring vast wild spaces and permitting little accumulation of goods, seems to be inevitably doomed
which require vast wild spaces and permit little accumulation of goods, seem to be inevitably doomed
lifestyles that require vast wild spaces and permit little accumulation of goods, seem inevitable
lifestyles requiring vast wild spaces and permitting little accumulation of goods, seems inevitable
In the sentence as written, the singular subject the disappearance of . . . and the plural verb seem do not agree in number. It does not make sense to say that the disappearance is inevitably doomed; presumably the sentence intends to suggest that the lifestyles themselves are inevitably doomed or perhaps that the disappearance of . . . these lifestyles is inevitable.
