none of 后面是复数名词，谓语动词不是应该是复数嘛，为什么这里是单数？？
==============================================另一题
大全765 1.The herbicide Oryzalin was still being produced in 1979, three years after the wives of workers producing the chemical in Rensselaer, New York, were found to have borne children with heart defects or miscarriages, and none of their pregnancies was normal.

(D) either to have had miscarriages or to have borne children with heart defects; none of the pregnancieswas（D）

longman对pregnancies的解释是  
       preg?nan?cy plural pregnancies [uncountable and countable]
pregnancies是复数，这里为何用was？

另附上longman的none of 的例句
I know what people are saying - but none of it is true.
None of my friends phone me any more.

请多多指教

None of + 名词（无论单复数），谓语用单数！

？我在manhattan sc上看见写none of加复数名词既可接单也可接复。。。

谢谢回复

但不太赞同，LZM上面也说过是看of 后的主语是单数还是复数，我列的longman的上的第二个例句就是用的复数啊！

再附上GMAT中阅读中的句子
However, none of these high-technology methods areof any value if the sites to which they are applied have never mineralized, and to maximize the chances of discovery the explorer must therefore pay particular attention to selecting the ground formations most likely to be mineralized.

None of the other options describesuch thems.

目前我比较迷信manhattan....因为它甚至指出OG12 上的一些错误。。
anyway, 它的这个说法我比较赞同

我刚刚查过Manhattan sc了。上面说的是 none  depend on the context: pay attention to the object after "of"
没有看到你说的加复数名词既可以接单，也可以接复

我看的09年第四版，第40页，最后一行：
Technically, none of + plural noun can take either a singular or a plural verb form.
应该就是这个意思吧？是我理解有误？

我用的版本和你不一样，是08年的，上面没有这句话
那么它有没有说在什么情况下用单数还是复数？
