Some of the luggage ......... not yet arrived.

A. has

B. have

C. is

D. are

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is A: has.
Let's break down why:
The word "luggage" is a collective noun.
Collective nouns refer to a group of things as a single unit.
Even though "luggage" might consist of many bags, we treat it as one general mass or item.
Because we are treating it as a singular unit, we need a singular verb.
Out of the options, only "has" is a singular verb that agrees with "luggage".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Some of the luggage has not yet arrived."
"Have" and "are" are plural verbs, and "is" typically describes a state of being, not an action of arriving in this context.

    If after some, there is any plural noun, the verb will be plural.

    Luggage is always in singular form. It cannot be "luggages"
