The committee ________divided in it's option (is/are)
Yes — "is"
the committee 'is"
several committees "are"
since "committee" is a singular noun, which is the singular form of the verb?
also — use "its" not "it's" (which means "it is" or "it has")
To determine whether to use "is" or "are" in this sentence, we need to identify the subject of the sentence. In this case, the subject is "committee." Since "committee" is a collective noun - a noun that represents a group of people - it can be considered as a single unit or as a collection of individuals.
If you want to emphasize that the committee is acting as a unified body, then you would use the singular verb "is." For example: "The committee is divided in its opinion."
If you want to emphasize that the committee members have different opinions as individuals, then you would use the plural verb "are." For example: "The committee members are divided in their opinions."
Therefore, the correct answer depends on how you want to portray the committee.
