Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
"Is ___________ a television?"
"Yes, there ___________."

• A. This / are
• B. There / is
• C. This / is
• D. That / is

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

There / is

The correct answer is Option B.

THERE means 'in, at or to that place or position'. It is used to refer to a place. In the given sentence the speaker wants to know whether there is a television at the place referred to. Thus THERE is the correct answer.

IS is used to refer to singular nouns - TELEVISION is a singular noun.

Hence THERE/IS is the correct answer.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

Option A: THIS is used to refer to an object. ARE is used to refer to more than objects.

Option C: THIS is used to refer to an object, not a place.

Option D: THAT is used to refer to an object.
