Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (B) and (D) only
(A) There is three buses to Haridwar every morning from this stop. — Incorrect.
- With “there is / there are”, the verb agrees with the noun that comes after it.
- Here that noun is “three buses”, which is plural.
- Correct form: There are three buses to Haridwar every morning from this stop.
(B) Our luggage was loaded onto the roof of the bus before sunrise. — Correct.
- “Luggage” cannot be counted, so it always takes a singular verb.
(C) Aarav is the only boy in our class who play the tabla. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “who play”.
- “Who” stands for “the only boy”, which is singular.
- So the verb after “who” must be singular.
- Correct form: Aarav is the only boy in our class who plays the tabla.
(D) Cooking for forty guests is not an easy job. — Correct.
- An -ing phrase used as the subject names one activity, so it takes a singular verb.
