One in ten Americans "is" or "are" affected by the illness. I SAY "IS."

Two in ten Americans "is" or "are" affected by the illness. I SAY "ARE."

One percent of the population "is" or "are" affected by the illness. I SAY "IS."

One percent of Americans "is" or "are" affected by the illness. I SAY "IS."

Two percent of the population "is" or "are" affected by the illness. I SAY "ARE."
