Question

2. It (b)____________ home to nearly 600 identified species. ( (i) has (ii) is (ii i) was (iv) are )

Answer 1

It is home to nearly 600 identified species.

Answer 2

Answer:

It is home to nearly 600 identified species.

Option (ii)

Explanation:

This sentence answer is become “is” because the given subject is in the singular. However, the other two options have and are will not be applicable. 'Has' is incorrect since it does not fulfill the subject and predicate agreement, thus making the sentence grammatically wrong and meaningless. 'Are' will also not be applicable since the subject (it) is singular, and 'are' is only a plausible choice if the subject was 'they' (plural).
