five miles ________ a long distance.

A are

B were

C is

D have

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

I would use "is" in all cases. The implied communication of each is similar to this:

(The distance of) thirty miles is a long distance.
(The amount of) ten dollars is a small amount.
(The time period of) three minutes is a short period of time.

we are speaking about a distance or an amount or a time period, which is singular.

Here 'Five miles' is a single unit that means it is refer to long distance. so it will be 'is'
