Wind
Wind, come softly.
Don't break the shutters of the windows.
Don't scatter the papers.
Don't throw down the books on the shelf,
There, look what you did - you threw them all down.
You tore the pages of the books.
You brought rain again,
You're very clever at poking fun at weaklings.
Frail crumbling houses, crumbling doors, crumbling rafters, crumbling wood, crumbling bodies, crumbling lives, crumbling hearts the wind god winnows and crushes them all
He won't do what you tell him.
So, come, let's build strong homes,
Let's join the doors firmly.
Practice to firm the body.
Make the heart steadfast.
Do this, and the wind will be friends with us.
The wind blows out weak fires.
He makes strong fires roar and flourish.
His friendship is good.
We praise him every day. wind, come softly.
-Subramania Bharati

The answer should be Option B since the word 'Somebody' has been mentioned in the direct speech. I think we should report an error.

are

Ans 2:

Class : Class 8
bees are plural nouns.so surely it is "are"

Ans 3:

Class : Class 8
The answer should be "is"

Ans 4:

Class : Class 8

Ans 5:

Class : Class 7
The correct answer will be 'is' , because we use a singular word i.e :is. , has for a collective noun

Ans 8:

Class : Class 10

Ans 9:

Class : Class 5
It should be 'are' if it was talking about ' a lot of bees ' but since it is talking about only ONE swarm, it's become singular thus, the answer is 'is'

Ans 10:

Class : Class 10
The answer is 'are'

Ans 11:

Class : Class 8
No, it is not are, it is option A, is. Because a lot of bees are plural but here it is talking about a swarm! No matter how many bees are there, it will always be one swarm, just one. Thats why the answer is A) Is

Ans 12:

Class : Class 5
Silly mistake for me but it’s is since bees is plural, yes, but a SWARM of bees is singular as it’s a collective noun. So the answer’s ISP.S. I used caps for explaining pls don’t report me or anything

Ans 25:

Class : Class 8

Ans 26:

Class : Class 5
The answer is IS because it is conted as singular and we use is with the singular nouns and hence the answer is IS like a pack of wolves is eating some of the rabbits. in the midnight hece we should not be confused between singular and plural mouns
