Question

Seventy kilograms ................ more than anyone can lift easily.

• A. are
• B. is
• C. will
• D. shall

Answer 1

Answer:

B. is

• "Seventy kilograms" is a singular subject here because it refers to a single measurement or quantity (like a total amount), not individual items.

• When a measurement, amount, or weight is considered as a whole, it takes a singular verb.

• So, "is" is correct — not "are".
