Which verb agrees with the subject in the sentence?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the book __________ interesting, but most of it was rather boring.


A.
were

B.
was

C.
are

Answer 1

The answer is B. We know this because were is
Plural and are is present tense. The only thing that is past tense and pairs with the following clause is was.

Answer 2

B. “Have” is the correct answer. The sentence is in the past tense so you would not use “is” or “has”.
