Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
There _________ no surgeons in that hospital.

A
isn't

B
are

C
aren't

D
was

Solution

We would be understanding the subject-verb agreement in this sentence. The rule states that when the noun is plural, the verb also becomes plural. In this sentence, the noun is in the plural form which is "surgeons".
"Are" is a plural verb. It is the correct answer
"is" and "was" are singular verbs. "Isn't" means "is not". They are the wrong answers
"aren't" means "are not". It is a negative word, which is not required in this case. It is incorrect.
Option B is correct.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
There __________ any soup on the menu.

A
aren't

B
are

C
isn't

D
is

Solution

In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. Now, if we look into this sentence, "any" is present. "Any" is only used in negative sentences. Thus, this eliminates out option B and D as they are not negative. Now, this sentence is having the noun as singular which proves that the verb should also be singular.
"aren't" is a plural verb
"isn't" is a singular verb. It is the correct option.
Option C is correct

Similarly in this sentence, since the noun is in the plural form, the verb also becomes in the plural form. Moreover, this particular sentence is in the past tense thus the verb should be plural and in past tense.
"were" is plural verb in the past tense.

'Can' is incorrect because it is used to say that it is possible for somebody/something to do something, or for something to happen. Moreover, it is grammatically incorrect.
