Choose the correct alternative from the bracket.

Answer :

The sound of bells from the temples is easily heard every where in the village.

• The subject of the sentence is 'the sound of bells'.
• The noun is 'the sound of bells' where 'the sound' is singular.
• Hence we use the singular form of 'be-verb'.
• 'Is' is a simple present form of be-verb but it is for plural noun.
• 'Are' is a simple present form of be-verb but it is for plural noun.
• Hence, 'is' is the correct alternative for the given blank.
