Answer:

The verb in the sentence is "review".

Step-by-step explanation:

The head of the verb phrase is "review". "Must" is a modal verb. A modal verb is a helping auxiliary verb that expresses ability, permission, obligation, or possibility. They are always paired with at least one other verb. In the sentence above, the modal verb has paired up with the verb "review". "Review" is the main verb of the sentence.
