This sentences have taken from CAMBRIDGE
IELTS
4.

"Disenchantment with orthodox medicine has
seen the popularity of alternative therapies in
Australia climb steadily during the past 20
years."

I think, here 'climb' is acting as a verb. Am I
right? What is the subject of this verb?
"Disenchantment with orthodox medicine has
seen the popularity of alternative therapies in
Australia" is able to make a full sense. It is
impossible for a sentence to have more than one
verb. How this sentence contains two verb?
Would you like to clear the meaning of this given
sentence? If it is possible to you, please provide
me many examples/lesson related to the
structure of this sentence.

yes, it is possible to have [more than]* one verb in the sentence. Check out this example: I want to go to study French in France. Your verbs in the preceding sentence is want, go and study.

*more than added by moderator. Example shows more than one verb in sentence.
