Question

Which sentence contains a singular subject?

The students on the social committee are planning the school dance.


All of the fruit looks ripe.


Many in the auditorium had questions for the speaker.


Some of the friends will be taking calculus next year.

Answer 1

The correct answer should be All of the fruit looks ripe.

This is because fruit can be used as a collective noun meaning that it is a SINGLE group consisting of many numbers. In this case it takes and behaves grammatically as a singular form. In addition, "look" is written with the "-s" inflection meaning that fruit is indeed singular and the third person.
