Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

None of them are here at this moment.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. is here.

  • Underlined Segment: "are here" - This part of the sentence uses the plural form of the verb "to be" (are) to describe the presence of multiple people ("them").

  • However, "none" is a word that implies "not one" or "no one," and it is treated as a singular pronoun.

  • Correct Replacement: "is here" - To ensure grammatical agreement, when "none" is used to refer to a group of people or things, it is treated as a singular pronoun, and the singular form of the verb "to be" (is) should be used.
