							| I would say are and replace thrillers with mystery books. I hope a native speaker may help with your query.   |  2 Jun 2024

							| I would say: is ("The subject of the sentence is:[The kind of books,] which is a singular noun phrase. The kind of books" is treated as a singular category or type, thus requiring the singular verb "is.") |  2 Jun 2024

							| Since "the kind of books" is regarded as a solitary category or kind, the singular word "is" is necessary. I�m hoping a native speaker can answer dordle your question. |  16 Jul 2024

							| The correct sentence is "The kind of books which Quoc Hoa enjoys reading are thrillers." because "kind" is a singular noun Doodle Jump, so the verb that goes with it must be "is". |  23 Feb 2025
