I was solving an sc that has the use of "majority". I was searching the New York Time with "majority".
I have found the following sentences:
A majority of Democrats in the House and Senate still typically come down on the side of gun control.
A majority of the district's voters are African-American.
A majority of blog readers say blogs are useful.
A majority of Americans say the federal government should guarantee health insurance.
=> A majority of + Plural Noun + Plural Verb.
Again:
Women's new majority in the nation's workplaces comes decades after women first began trading in their aprons for pantsuits in droves.
The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, is leaning toward including a government-run health insurance plan.
=> I have got it. it means the leader is the sentence.
An overwhelming majority of Americans wants Wall Street subjected to tougher regulation in the aftermath of the bank bailout.
Here, I can not find any rule.
Would any expert explain the concept of "majority"?
Thanks.
