Many of the runners ____ incredibly fast.
The subject is "many" and many is plural.
Has would be wrong because you need a linking verb (the predicate is an adjective)
"Is" would be wrong because the subject is plural and "is" corresponds to a singular subject.
"Was" is incorrect because "was" corresponds to a singular noun.
Therefore "are" would be correct because it is a linking verb that corresponds to a plural noun.
Answer:

Explanation:
Colm Toibin's novel "Brooklyn" is about the story of a young woman stuck in between her life in Brooklyn and her hometown in Ireland. The protagonist Eilis Lacey had been married secretly to Tony where she has a job in Brooklyn. But when she had to go to Ireland for the funeral of her sister Rose, she was led to stay longer and even had a brief relationship with a man named Jim. But when her secret marriage was on the verge of being revealed, she decided to tell her mother about Tony, left a letter for Jim and went back to Brooklyn.
The statement that is mentioned in the question<em> "And we are worked off our feet"</em> is from the part where Miss Kelly had called on Eilis to offer her a job in her shop as a bookkeeper. By this implication, Miss Kelly meant that her shop is busy and that they have a lot of customer.
