Hi VeritasKarishma, Can u pl explain why we use singular verb in the option, IS referring to what.
Hi Amar
This follows the structure: X is Y.
X comprises the clause at the beginning of the sentence: How much the scandal affected trust and opinion.
Now, the sentence goes on to say that this amount (how much) IS a question (Y), among the most pressing ones at that. Since the verb is used to denote one among many ("
among the most pressing questions"), it needs to be in singular form "is".
Hope this clarifies.
