Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable verb from the options given below:
His two sons ___ still very young.

• A. Is
• B. Are
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Are

The words, 'is' and 'are' are forms of the verb, 'to be'. To decide which of these to use, we have to look at the subject. If the subject is singular, 'is' has to be used. If it is Plural, 'are' has to be used. Here the subject is, 'His two sons'- which is in plural. Hence, the suitable verb is: are. Option B is correct and Option A is incorrect.

Options C and D are incorrect as only option B is the correct answer.
