Answer 1

Answer:

is

Explanation:

according to subject verb concord's

rule 2

The number of the subject (singular or plural) will not change due to words/phrases in between the subject and the verb.

Answer 2

In the following options, 'is' is the correct one.

• So, the correct sentence is- "One of the glasses is empty."
• 'Be' verb is always used based on the type of subject. If the subject is singular, the verbs are - am, is, was and etc.
• Here, we couldnot use 'are' as the subject was singular. In this sentence, the subject 'one of the glasses' indicates one particular glass, not the plural word that follows.
