"At least 10% of the population are intelligent enough to question everything."

Are intelligent, or is intelligent?

It depends on how you'd like to express 'population'. You have a choice:

Singular: 10% of the group is intelligent. (OK)
Plural: 10% of the inhabitants are intelligent. (OK)

Hi Manplp
I found their meaning in my dictionary.;-)
Complement= ( v ) to make something else seem better or more attractive when combining with it.
Compliment=( v ) to praise or express admiration for someone.
