Which verb is correct, "is" or "are"? [closed]
"Above maturity, is intelligence and self respect.
OR
"Above maturity, are intelligence and self respect.
Solution 1:
It should be are because you go on to provide more than one character trait ('intelligence, high self-esteem, dominance and quality of life').
I do agree with you, however, in that the revised sentence sounds rather stilted. To rectify this, perhaps you could rephrase the sentence to:
'Intelligence, self-esteemed, dominance and a quality of life are more important than being nice and mature.'
