================================================

Explanation:

The singular indefinite pronouns are:

  1. Another
  2. Anybody
  3. Anyone
  4. Anything
  5. Each
  6. Either
  7. Everybody
  8. Everyone
  9. Everything
  10. Much
  11. Neither
  12. Nobody
  13. No one
  14. Nothing
  15. One
  16. Somebody
  17. Someone
  18. Something

The plural forms are:

  1. Both
  2. Few
  3. Many
  4. Others
  5. Several

Then there are indefinite pronouns that could either be singular or plural  depending on context.

  1. All
  2. Any
  3. Most
  4. None
  5. Some

For instance, we could say "Some dog is barking" (singular) and "Some of the dogs are barking" (plural). Take note of the very slight difference in wording. Also, take note of the "is" and "are".

----------------------

With all that in mind, you should have enough info to a) determine the indefinite pronoun and b) determine if you have a singular or plural form.

In problem 1, "Someone" is the indefinite pronoun. It's in the "singular" list so we go for "someone is". The full sentence being "<u>Someone is</u> knocking at the door".

For problem 2, "none" is in the gray area. It could be singular or it could be plural. Notice that "none of the marbles" can be replaced with simply "none". The sentence "None of the marbles <u>belong</u> to Lucy" is the same as "None belong to Lucy". Though of course the first sentence is more descriptive, while the second relies on implicit context cues from somewhere else.

The other sentences will use the same idea.
