Answers
Answer: mark as brainliest if helps
When none doesn’t quantify anything, both agreements are acceptable.
When none quantifies a plural noun, both singular and plural agreements are acceptable.
The most comprehensive source that has done far advanced research on this issue is Gabe Doyle of Motivated Grammar [About]. Doyle cited dictionaries that [wrongly] claim none came from not one.
The summary he puts out after a long discussion is this:
SUMMARY: None can be singular or plural, unless it quantifies a singular or mass noun. Don’t believe anyone who says none has to be singular because it’s a contraction of not one. Both none of the meals is and none of the meals are are okay, and both none is and none are are okay.
Examples of mass nouns are: Materials, food, metals, and natural qualities: bread, cotton, wood, lightness, adolescence. Names of liquids, gases, and substances made of many small particles: cappuccino, oil, smoke, oxygen, rice, sugar, salt, cement, gravel. Mass nouns are quantified by a word that signifies amount.
