Question

Which sentence is correct:

The yolk of the egg are white.

OR

The yolk of the egg is white.

Answer 1

The yolk of the egg is white, since the yolk is singular.

Answer 2

Look again :D

Answer 3

Could be both, since the plural of yolk is yolk. Although, an average egg will only have one yolk, so one can assume that if there is a single egg, there is only one yolk, making the logical answer the second option.

Answer 4

is white would be better unless you were saying it plural then it would maybe be "The yolk of the eggs are white."

Answer 5

Both sentences are wrong !!!!

Yolk is yellow and not white !!!
The albumen is white and not the yolk.....

Answer 6

Darnit! =)

Answer 7

If plural, it would be: The yolk of the eggs are yellow (or white if your prefer).
Singular: The yolk of the egg is yellow (or white if your prefer).

Answer 8

Unless its a single egg with multiple yolk.

Answer 9

it completely depends on if yolk is plural or singular. It is both neither are incorrect so neither are correct. But both are correct, while neither are correct, while at the same they are correct and incorrect. Simple quantum mechanics. (:

Answer 10
