B Hello, Isn't "The majority of students ..." singular? So i go with A. Majority/Minority/Plurality: can be singular or plural depending on their context. When they refer to the many parts of the totality, they are plural When they refer to the totality itself they are singular The majority of the members in GMATClub are going to score more than 700 in the GMAT. The students majority is opposed to the new grade classification.
