Answer

The set $W$ of all $n \times n$ singular matrices is a vector subspace of $M_{n,n}$.

Work Step by Step

Since the sum of two singular matrices is a singular matrix and multiplying a singular matrix by a constant is singular, then the set $W$ of all $n \times n$ singular matrices is a vector subspace of $M_{n,n}$.
