Hi,

Is "none of the students" followed by a plural or singular verb form?

In MGMAT guide it says that I should look at the noun object to determine the number of the subject but in BTGMAT flashcards it says and examples that "none of..." is always singular.

Correct: None of the desserts are appealing

vs
