Twenty years _ the minimum age to fill this form.
Correct answer: B. Is
- A. Are
- B. Is
- C. Has
- D. Have
Explanation
As the subject is a singular noun (the word 'form' is used), the missing word should be "IS". As the sentence is not in the third person singular, "has" is not used. 'Are' is used for plural nouns, and 'have' is used to express possession, ownership or acquisition, which is not required in this context.

About Subject-Verb Agreement
Subject-verb agreement requires the verb to match the true subject in number and person, even when other words intervene. Questions cover collective nouns, compound subjects, indefinite pronouns, either and neither, relative clauses, quantities and inverted sentences, where proximity can falsely suggest the wrong verb.
