The word ‘none’ used here is used as a pronoun and in the plural sense and will take plural verb only. A singular subject (she, Bill, car) takes a singular verb (is, goes, shines), whereas a plural subject takes a plural verb. |
Example: The list of items is/are on the desk. If you know that list is the subject, then you will choose ‘is’ for the verb. Hence, ‘show’ will be used in place of ‘shows’ here. Hence, option 3 is correct. |
