Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
None of them are here at this moment.

A.

had here

B.

were here

C.

is here

D.

have here

Correct option is C


The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c) is here.
Explanation: The word “None” is often treated as singular when it refers to “not one,” especially with uncountable or singular concepts. Since “None of them” implies “Not one of them,” a singular verb (“is”) is required.
Grammatical rule used:
· “None” can be singular or plural, but when referring to individuals not being present (like “None of them is here”), singular verb is preferred.
· Example: None of the cake is left.
