"Work" may have a plural form, but is then rather used in the sense of "Arbeiten (z.b. auf der Straße)". When it refers to the general, abstract meaning of "Wirken, Bearbeiten", as here in this sentence, it is uncountable and should be used in the singular.

The term "news", despite the "s" at the end", is an uncountable noun and can only be used with singular demonstrative and singular verb forms. 7 The correct term is "much research has" because "research" is an uncountable noun and can only be used in the singular form with singular quantifiers and singular verb forms. 8 The correct phrases are "knowledge" and "is not much evidence" because both "knowledge" and "evidence" are uncountable nouns, which can only be used in the singular form with singular verb forms and quantifiers. 9 The correct phrase is "too much damage" because "damage" is an uncountable noun which can only be used in the singular form with singular quantifiers. 10 The correct phrase is "much advice" because "advice" is uncountable and can only be used in the singular form with singular quantifiers. 11 The correct term is "Time". In the sense of "Zeit", the noun is uncountable and can only be used in the singular form. 12 The correct phrase is "much information" because the noun "information" is uncountable and can only be used in the singular form with singular quantifiers, demonstratives, and verb forms. 13 The correct phrase is "This information is" because the noun "information" is uncountable and can only be used in the singular form with singular quantifiers, verb forms, and demonstratives.
