Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
There ___________ $3$ telephones, but _________ isn't a cooker.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C Are / there

The correct answer is Option C.

ARE is used for plural nouns. There are 3 telephones in the given sentence. Therefore, ARE is the correct answer.

THERE means 'in, at or to that place or position'. The cooker is not at the position referred to. Thus THERE is the correct answer for the second blank.

Hence Option C is the correct answer.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

Option A: THEY is used to refer to more than one person.

Option B: IS is used to refer to a singular object. But in the given sentence there are 3 telephones.

Option C: THEIR is a personal pronoun used to refer to more than one person.
