It’s just ‘is’ because ‘are’ is mainly used for plural

The way you can tell to use “is” and not “are” is to consider if “mathematics” is singular or not. “Mathematics” is typically used as a singular noun, to describe the field of study (not a group of mathematicians). However, it is plural in form- we describe said field of study as “mathematics” and not “mathematic”. This contrasts other singular nouns; biology, for instance, is not called biologies. Even though “mathematics” is plural in form, it is still singular. Thus, the most grammatically correct sentence would be “mathematics is very hard”. In my experience, however, it’s more common to say “math / maths is very hard.”

Please help me I need a long response!!?
mezya [45]
I feel that Auden's poem creations a more powerful and emotional response in the reader becuase, I feel, you can describe a subject better or deeper with words than with a painting. I think it takes a little bit of skill to completely understand what the author is feeling when viewing a piece of artwork. The initial understanding I got from the painting was that people are unaware of other's suffering because they are too involved in everyday life, but Auden's poem digs deep into the subject that people are unaware of other peoples suffering when it is indeed going on.

A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition. Given that the preposition in this sentence is the word in, the prepositional phrase is in the contest. The word it modifies is paint. 

Where does Devon want to paint pumpkins? In the contest.
