1 & 3. Sales is plural, while revenue isn't. This is tricky though... I'm interested in hearing other opinions as well. :)
Have you wondered how you could have found such a treasure? -T

Please note that there are a few word that end with "s" but still are singular:

1. politics
2. ethics

etc.

Oh, I didn't know about that :shock: Hmm, so these sentences are correct?

People should be involved in politics, because it has the potential to affect everybody in the world.

Professional ethics is important for anybody aspiring to enter a top business school.
