Consider also: If there are N answers, and none of them could be considered correct, that makes N altogether that are incorrect, so the plural (None of your answers are correct) should be right.

T Tdol No Longer With Us (RIP) Staff member Thread starter Joined Nov 13, 2002 Native Language British English Home Country UK Current Location Japan Jul 31, 2017 #27 I would say that they're both correct. Some might not agree.

So I say none is. For those who disagree, consider this: In practical terms, none also means fewer than one. That would also take you to none is.
