Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.















  • Asking about "answers are" vs "answer is" I could understand, but since the verb is plural in both cases, your question really answers it self. "Answer are" is not English.

  • The first one is correct. But the second one would be correct too, except that you forgot to make the rest of the sentence agree with the singular answer. It should be: "If the answer to any of the 3 questions above is left blank, the presumed answer for that question will be no."
