Complete the sentence by choosing the most appropriate option:There _ many students waiting to hear the results of the test.
Correct answer: D. Are
- A. Has
- B. Have
- C. Was
- D. Are
Explanation
Students are plural. So, the helping verb should also be plural, which are "have" and "are".Have can not be used here because it is used in perfect tense which has the 3rd form of verb while here we have the continuous form of verb i.e. "waiting". So, the answer is D.
