    Solution

    Certain nouns always use singular verbs. These are not used in the plural sense and do not take on plural verbs. For example hair, issue, advice, information, scenery, luggage, mischief, bread, abuse, furniture, land, business, machinery, poetry etc. Mischief is sure to crop up, in one form or another, among the idle and ambitionless.
