Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
"___________ their names Jack & Benny?"
"Yes, ___________."

• A. Are / they are
• B. Aren't / there are
• C. Am / their
• D. Is / they're

Answer 1

The correct option is A Are / they are

The correct answer is Option A.

The word 'ARE' is used when we refer to two or more things. In the given sentence, there is a reference to two people- Jack and Benny.

Thus, ARE is the correct word that completes the sentence.

'THEY ARE' completes the second sentence because THEY is plural and there is a reference to two people in the previous sentence.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

Option B: AREN'T is a negation and there is no such meaning in the sentence. THERE ARE is not the appropriate pronoun to refer to two people.

Option C: AM is used only with I. THEIR is used to show possession.

Option D: IS is used to refer to singular words. In the given sentence we are referring to two people.

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
