Sentence Correction

Has any of your pies been eaten this morning?

Has any of your
Are any of your
Will any of your
Is any of your
Have any of your[/u]

I think it should be A , as any is singular. So, B,C,E are out and Is cant be as it sounds akward.
OA ?

Hi vivek,

I disagree slightly!!!
U rightly said B,C,D are out of context hence ruled out now the choice left is A & E
Here subject is pies and i would go with E as a choice

Regards

I would go with A because "any" is singular

last option.here 'any ' has the meaning of 'some' and not 'anyone' so it will be 'have'
refer dictionary.com->https://dictionary.reference.com/browse/any

I will go with A..I feel like it is singular like anyone

here in the sentence Verb prefixes the subject. Read it like this.
Any of your pie has been eaten by......means surely subject is pies, but it is asking if anyone out of several pies been eaten.
I will still stick with A.....wht is OA pls tell

Plural. E should be the answer.

IMO it is E

The first option (A) is correct but the meaning is different.

"Has any of your pies been eaten?" means that the question asks about any one pie that could have been eaten. It implies that we expect that one should have been eaten, but we don't know which one.

"Have any of your pies (that is, some) been eaten?" implies that some pies could have been eaten. Here, as I understand, we concern more with the number of pies that has been eaten rather than with the fact that any one of the pies has been eaten.

Can't help more

ya olika, u got it right. That is what i meant .....if any of ur pie(that means 1 pie out of n no. of pie's ) I think emphasis should be on any , not on pies.I will stil stick with A.

OA Pls

OA: E )
