Question

Much ____________ been said in the news reports. A. were B. have C. has D. was

Answer 1

Much have been said in the news reports

Answer 2

Much has been said in the news reports. (Option C)

• The given sentence states that the news reports have conveyed enough information and that it is uncountable.

• Since it cannot be counted, the verb has to be in its singular and third-person form.
• So, the verb 'has' will be used after much.

• The other options- were, have, and was- are not relevant and don't fit the given sentence.
