Question

Is it the fleet of ships leave or leaves?

Answer 1

Answer: Leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

You are talking about multiple ships (A fleet of ships) so leaves.

Answer 2

the fleet of ships leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

You would say the fleet leaves not the fleet leave.

The 'of ships' isn't relevant since we are not talking about the ships leaving, but rather the fleet.
