Answer 2

The correct sentence will be, "The list of items is on the desk".

• The sentence given here means that there is a list that contains some items, and the list is placed on the desk.
• Here, the word "items" is plural, however, the sentence doesn't express that the "items" are on the desk, but it says the "list of items" is on the desk.
• So, the auxiliary verb to be used will be according to the word "list" and not according to the word items.
• As the "list" is singular, so will be the auxiliary verb.
• Thus, "is" will be used as the auxiliary verb, and the correct sentence will be, "The list of items is on the desk".
