i believe that if a noun or pronoun that is plural follow majority it takes a plural verb.

The Majority of the students in this class ARE hard workers.

The student Majority IS opposed to the death penalty

According to Manhattan this example
A majority of railway commuters should be considered a plural subject

None of my friends according to Manhattan is plural but according to kaplan is singular so we need some expert advise here to cope this kind of SC
