Question

Which helping verb agrees with the subject and correctly completes the verb phrase?

Tomatoes __________ considered fruit.

A.
is

B.
was

C.
has

D.
are

Answer 1

Hey Demonx,

You can tell that 'Tomatoes' indicates that the sentence is plural.

That cancels out any words relating to singular words including 'is', 'was', and 'has'.

That only leaves you with one choice and it relates to plural words, 'are'.

So your answer would be: Tomatoes are considered fruit.

Answer 2

'are' is the only one that makes sense.

"Tomatoes are considered fruit."
