Final answer:
The statement is TRUE. Indefinite pronouns such as SOME, MOST, ALL, and NONE can be singular or plural depending on the context of the sentence and the noun they refer to.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the indefinite pronouns SOME, MOST, ALL, and NONE are singular or plural according to the meaning of the sentence is indeed TRUE. Several indefinite pronouns can take either a singular or plural verb based on the context of what they are referring to in the sentence. For example, when most refer to a singular collective noun like 'class,' it would take a singular verb. On the other hand, if most refer to a plural noun like 'students,' then it takes a plural verb.
Here are a couple of examples to illustrate this:
- All of these students take at least one class in science or math. (plural)
- Most of his work is original. (singular)
Is the subject a collective noun? Collective nouns, such as 'audience,' 'band,' 'class,' 'crowd,' 'family,' 'group,' or 'team', can take a singular or a plural verb depending on whether they are acting as a single unit or not.
