"Gluten is not made in any dishes on our menu."​

Answer 1

"Every dish on our menu is gluten free." -This is the clearest and most grammatically correct statement.

Explanation:

• The statement "Everything in our menu are gluten free," is wrong because we have a singular noun 'everything', so the verb must be 'is', whereas we have 'are'.
• The statement "Everything on our menu are gluten free," is wrong because of the same reason -we have a singular noun 'everything', so the verb must be 'is', whereas we have 'are'.
• The statement "Every dish on our menu are gluten free," is wrong because the noun is again in singular. We have 'every dish', a singular noun, and so the verb must be in singular 'is'. But we have 'are' which is plural and incorrect.
• The statement "Every dish on our menu is gluten free," is correct because the noun and the verb are in proper agreement. Both are in singular -we have 'every dish' and the verb 'is'.
• The statement "Gluten is not made in any dishes on our menu," is wrong because gluten is not a food and hence 'gluten is not made' is incorrect.
• Therefore the correct statement is: "Every dish on our menu is gluten free."
