Объяснение: is используется с существительными в единственном числе, are используется с существительными во множественном числе. Правильные формы is и are подчеркнуты, а жирным представлены существительные, к которым они ссылаются.

Исключения: в 11 и 12 предложениях есть неисчисляемые существительные - sugar и salt. О каких количествах не шла речь к ним используется глагол is. В 15 предложении существительное everything означает общее или коллективное поэтому ему тоже используется глагол is.
