1. Millions of photos are uploaded every day. - "Millions of photos" is a plural subject, so the correct verb form is "are uploaded."

2. The videos posted were shared by over 1,000 people. - "The videos posted" is the subject, referring to multiple videos, so the correct verb form is "were shared."

3. Lots of music files are being downloaded at this very moment. - "Lots of music files" is a plural subject, so the correct verb form is "are being downloaded." Additionally, the phrase "at this very moment" suggests an ongoing action, so the present continuous tense is appropriate.

4. How many candidates are going to be interviewed tomorrow? - The verb "are going to be" indicates a future action, which will take place tomorrow. Therefore, the correct verb form is "are going to be interviewed."

5. I have read that a new operating system will be launched next year. - The verb "will be launched" indicates a future action, so the correct verb form is "will be launched."

6. Oh no! The system has been hacked again! - The phrase "has been hacked" suggests a past action that has an impact on the present situation. Therefore, the correct verb form is "has been hacked."
