Are you treating opposition as a force personified, or as a group.

Either one is correct, either one means the same, it's solely based off of whether you're personifying opposition or not. Pick the one that stays consistent with your writing style.

The opposition, the other side of the battle.

No. It's is. Opposition is a collective group with a single thought making it singular.

It's not the singular thought that makes it "is." You have to refer to the plurality of the subject. If opposition were personified, it would be given the traits of a human, A human. Or it would be adressed as A human. In op's context, he is referring to a group of people, so "are."


@OP, I asked my GT English teacher about this one. She says that in your situation, are would be correct.

Or maybe you should just try harder. Citing sources is what made it so it didnt degenerate into an argument about who is right and who are not.

Never meant to be a tryhard, just knew I'd get flamed if I just put "OH IM RITE HURR"

And I asked my teacher because I was curious as well.
