Answer 1

Answer:

The quality of these apples ……are…. not good.

Explanation: 'Apples' is a plural verb. Therefore we use 'are' for the above question. But if it were a singular verb we can write 'is'.

Ex: A black and white cow …is….. grazing outside.

     A black and a  white cow …are….. grazing outside.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

The quality of these apples is not good is the right answer.

• Subject verb agreement is known as concord.
• For singular subject singular verb should be used.
• Example: Anoop is getting married.
• For plural subject plural verb is to be used.
• Example: Girls are going outside.
• In the given sentence 'these apples' is an uncountable noun.
• Uncountable nouns are always considered singular.

• So singular verb 'is' is to be used.
