Question 10

Fill in the blank with correct form of the verb.

Forty rupees _______ a small amount.

Solution

When a plural number expresses a single amount of money, time or distance, it is treated as one unit and takes a singular verb. "Forty rupees" here is one sum of money, so the correct verb is "is". Hence the sentence reads "Forty rupees is a small amount".
