hi guys/experts,

need your help regarding quantifiers:

1. population and density- non count noun. -true.??

query:

1. 10% of the population is/are..... (population is non-count noun)

2. 10% of 10 apple/apples is/are ..... (remember 10% of 10 is 1 singular...so what it should be is or are.)
3. 10 % of 1000 apple/apples is/ are.... (10% of 1000 is 100; 100 is a count noun but more than 1. so, plural.)

4, half of my family lives/live in Canada.
5. All of the class is/are here.

pl explain or at least highlight the correct verb/noun forms.
thanks.

There are some cases where aggregate measures like population and weight can go back to being count nouns (the populations of country X and country Y are about the same) when they are kind of "subtotals", but for the most part, aggregates are noncount and singular in American (and therefore GMAT) English.
