Question

Choose the correct word(s) that correctly completes the sentence.

Measles ______ not a fatal disease. [Basic]

• A. is
• B. are
• C. has
• D. have

Answer 1

The correct option is A is

Verbs must agree with their subjects in number and person.

There are some words that end with -s. They look plural, but take a singular verb, for example athletics, economics, physics, measles, news and etc.

Option A is correct because it contains singular verb.

Whereas, option B contains plural verb which is incorrect and option C and D contain the present perfect verb which is generally followed by past participle verb. Therefore option C and D are also correct.
