One or the other of those fellows _stolen the watch.
Correct answer: C. has
- A. are
- B. is
- C. has
- D. have
Explanation
The subject of the sentence is 'one or the other of those fellows', which is treated as a singular subject. Therefore, it requires a singular verb. In this case, 'has' is the correct choice because it agrees with the singular subject. The phrase 'one or the other' indicates a choice between two options, and we consider only one of them to be performing the action.To clarify the incorrect options:'are': This is a plural verb and does not agree with the singular subject.'is': While 'is' is singular, it incorrectly implies that 'those fellows' is the subject, which it is not in this context.'have': This is also a plural verb, which does not correspond to the singular nature of 'one or the other'.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
