I have some doubts about this exemple:
"None of their findings have been ever explained." (correct)
"None of their findings has been ever explained." (incorrect??)
I believe that if we have a noun used in a particular meaning only in plural (a researcher rather has findings not a finding) there must be a plural verb, not a singular, but please correct me if I'm wrong...

the "none" issue is not going to be tested on the official exam, so you don't really have to worry about it.Marta Re wrote:I have some doubts about this exemple:

the exam stays away from testing *anything* on which there is large-scale disagreement among usage experts -- and there is definitely lots of disagreement on this issue.
