1. Some of them are happy about it. (v) :tick:

2. Some of the apple is rotten. (v) :tick: But that would be odd if one were talking about an individual apple.

3. Any of them is happy about it. -> ? :cross:

4. Any of the apple is rotten -> ? :cross:

5. Any of the water is spilled. ->? :cross:

6. None of them are happy. -> ? :tick: Some people would argue for "is" as a verb.

7. None of the apple is rotten. -> :tick: Again, this would be odd if one were talking about an individual apple.

8. None of the water is spilled. -> ? :tick:

9. All of the apple is rotten -> ? :tick: Again, this would be odd if one were talking about an individual apple.

My notes about "apple" stem from the idea that we would consider an apple to be rotten if any part of it were rotten. If you have cut-up apple pieces in a bowl, one might evaluate the pieces individually.
