Which of the following is correct:

Maximum number of people 'is'
answering this.

(or)

Maximum number of people are answering this.

Respuesta :

Phenomenology

In this sentence the use of "is" is incorrect, instead of "the maximum number of people is answering this"  it should be "the maximum number of people are answering this"

It would be 'Maximum number of people ARE answering this.'

Why?

Because the subject of the sentence, people, is plural. If this was a singular subject/noun, then 'IS' would suffice.

Hope this helped and have a good day!
