The news is spreading quickly.

Show answer

are

Step 1: Identify the phrase - 'A number of' is used before 'books'. Step 2: Apply the rule - 'a number of' takes a plural verb because it emphasizes the many items. Step 3: Use the plural verb 'are' to agree with the plural meaning. Step 4: This is different from 'the number of' which would take a singular verb. Singular options (is, was, has been) are incorrect here.
