Help with two sentences

Hi. Please help.

For no. 1, does the example sentence indicate he is still working creating arts programming? Could we use the word "programs" instead of "programming"?

1. He has worked to create arts programming.

For the number 2 example sentence below, which should we use, a singular or plural verb?

2. Select the statement(s) that best describe (or describes?) the person in the text.
