Asked in Premeth Test 16 — Chemistry of Hydrocarbons

A large amount of money----- stolen in last nights bank robbery.

Correct answer: C. was

  • A. is
  • B. are
  • C. was
  • D. were

Explanation

The correct answer is 'was', which is the singular past tense form of the verb 'be' and properly agrees with the singular subject, 'a large amount of money.' The sentence accurately conveys that a significant quantity of money was taken during the bank robbery.The other options are incorrect: 'is' and 'are' do not fit because they are present tense forms, while 'were' is a plural form that does not align with the singular subject. Thus, only 'was' forms a grammatically correct sentence.
