Grammar: Which is /Which are

Content

I’m not sure which is correct…

Option #1: Which of these subjects are most interesting to you?

Option #2: Which of these subjects is most interesting to you?

2

3. Which subjects do you have interest in? :smile:

3

No, I don’t like that one.

I think emphasizing the list of Subjects (i.e. “Which of these subjects”) located below in my form is important. It’s a pick-list.

Depends on what answer you want, I’d say.

Which (one) of these subjects is most interesting to you?

or

Which (three, five, whatever) of these subjects are most interesting to you?

Although most interesting implies one, so therefore I’d say the first is correct.

Great minds, as ever.

Be careful of your selection though because I will instantly leave a website if I find a single grammar mistake.

First off I would like blame all of this on @ralphm from his thread yesterday!! :wink:

Here is what I am trying to do and say… (This is embarrassing, because I am usually so good with words! Must be time for breakfast…) :doughnut:

I have a listing of 20 Subjects that users can choose from.

I want to a user to choose up to 5 that they find the most interesting.

So, while you may find all 20 Subjects really interesting, you can only choose up to 5 - otherwise the survey isn’t of much use if someone effectively says, “I like them all…”

You could choose just one, or two, all the way up to 5.

And I want a clear, concise label for this form.

Make sense?

Then I’d go with what @TechnoBear suggested

Sorry, I ate it…

13

Seems pretty clear and concise to me.

14

Snap!! :open_mouth:

15

Yes, that is good. However, doesn’t adding in “most interesting” add extra value?

Again, a person might find most of the subjects interesting, but I want to know which ones are “most” interesting to them.

It’s splitting hairs, I know!

16

How about…

Which subjects below are most interesting to you? (Choose up to 5)

Prepositions spring to mind, how about:

Which subjects are most interesting( choose up to five).

Which subjects are of most interest ( choose up to five).

Edit:

Google prepositions Winston Churchill
