| Offhand, I would say it is none are correct. That seems most likely. :) |

Subject-Verb Agreement :D None of the answers are correct. (none = not any) :D The answers are incorrect. Compare singular: :D The answer is incorrect. :( None of the answer is correct. The verb 'is' is fine. It's 'the answer' that's the problem. "none" requires a plural object (i.e. 'answers'): :D None of the answers .... Note, however, none can also mean, "not one (item)", as in :D None of the food is fresh. (not one (item)) :D Not one item of food is fresh. When 'none of X' refers to 'not one (item)', the verb is singular. Consider now: :D None of the answers is correct. :D Not one of the answers is correct. :D None of the answers are correct. :D Not any of the answers are correct. Cas :D |

To err is human, not RonBee. :D Hmm. What are the implications of that? |

| I use 'are' most of the time, 'is' formally. As Cas pointed out 'none of them' is almost always plural. |

| so it depends from the context of the sentence, I thought "is",may be is correct and are;) |
