Choose the correct form: The news of the latest silicon chip breakthroughs (was/were) very exciting.

Sagot :

It's "were". The subject there is "breakthroughs".

I beg to disagree. The subject of the sentence is news, and though it ends in "s", this word is always treated as a singular noun. Hence, the correct answer is " was"
