From reading, American English use has whereas British uses have.

Furniture is uncountable noun so we cannot make it plural.

According to me, Has is a correct option. All the furniture has to be sent. It is true that Furniture is plural but it will be used as a singular. Like Army is plural but it is used with is not are.

Furniture itself is singular as the word like scenery so we can not use have. It should be furniture has been sent.

Anyone, please explain it.

They are using "the" before new house but "a" before village why?

Collective nouns, or community nouns, use singular verbs and articles. Eg a crowd was.

A village, when reference is to a single village, the village when reference is to a particular village.

Have been is used in present perfect continous but I don't think it is a example of ppc.
