Question

Ten thousand rupees _______ a large sum

• A. are
• B. is
• C. were
• D. has

Answer 1

Answer:

B. is

• When amounts (money, distance, time, etc.) are treated as single entities, they take a singular verb.

• When a sum of money is considered as a whole, it takes a singular verb. Hence, "is" (singular verb) is used instead of "are".
