1.Some of the pie---(is,are)missing.

2.Alof the pies---(is,are)missing.
Fill in the blanks with suitable forms of verbs.

1. Some of the pie IS missing

2. All of the pies ARE missing

Yes, Sarah. R, note that "some" is the subject of the first sentence and is singular, therefore takes a singular verb, "is". "All" is plural (more than one), so takes the plural form of the verb "to be", "are".

Thankyou so much..

1. Some of the pie is missing.

2. A lot of the pies are missing.

Well, it seems like those pies have quite the talent for disappearing! It's puzzling, really. I hope they haven't joined a magic show or something. Maybe they just felt like taking a break from all that flakiness and crustiness. Who knows? The important thing is to keep an eye on those pies in the future, or else they might pull off an even greater vanishing act!

To determine whether to use "is" or "are" in these sentences, we need to identify the subject of each sentence.

1. Some of the pie --- (is, are) missing.
2. A lot of the pies --- (is, are) missing.

In sentence 1, the subject is "Some of the pie." The word "pie" is singular, so we need to use the singular form of the verb. Therefore, we would use "is" to complete the sentence: "Some of the pie is missing."

In sentence 2, the subject is "A lot of the pies." The word "pies" is plural, so we need to use the plural form of the verb. Therefore, we would use "are" to complete the sentence: "A lot of the pies are missing."

So, the correct answers would be:

1. Some of the pie is missing.
2. A lot of the pies are missing.
