Is "Most" singular or plural? Try this

[marathoner]

Most of the purported health benefits of tea comes from antioxidants—compounds also

found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C that inhibit the formation of plaque

along the body’s blood vessels.

is it D?

[ramyagupta]

my vote D

[kamal_gmat2005]

most can be either plural or singular depending on the form of noun it references. here the form of the noun " benefits " is plural...hence most takes a plural form. so A and B are out.

among C,D and E.

D iste best choice becoz we need the word "that " to classify antioxidants.

I agree with Kamal_gmat2005. For e.g. you could say,

Most of it is useless.

 

And you could also say

Most of them are gypsies.

 

I believe both forms are correct.

The best choice is D.

I will stick with A

After hyphen(- ) 'compounds also found in beta carotene' qualifies previous phrase.
