Looks good with three exceptions:
... blank in Sentence 1, write 'is.'
... fill in the blank with 'are.'
Remember: That ending quotation mark belongs AFTER a comma or period if the word quoted is at the end of a clause or sentence.
=)
(with words that indicate portions) If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.
1. Some of the pie _____ missing.(be)
2. Some of the pies _____ missing.(be)
Some indicates a portion, so if the object of the preposition of is singular, use a singular verb.
If the object of the preposition 'of' is plural, use a plural verb. In the blank in Sentence 1, write 'is'.
In Sentence 2, change 'be' into 'are' and fill in the blnak with 'are'.
