Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
____________ any men in the hall?

• A. Are there
• B. Are their
• C. Are they
• D. Is there

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Are there

The correct answer is Option A.

ARE is used to refer to more than 1 thing or person. THERE is used to refer to a place. In the given sentence, MEN indicates that there is more than 1 man.

Hence Option A is the correct answer.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

Option B: THEIR is used as a pronoun to refer to more than 1 person.

Option C: THEY is used to refer to more than 1 person and not for place.

Option D: IS is used only for singular nouns.
