Answer 2

A pair of shoes is lying under the table.

Brief explanation:

• Here, we have to choose the appropriate Auxiliary Verb from the given two options is and are.

• Before we find our answer, we must know what a Collective Noun is: a Collective Noun is a Noun that states the collection of two or more Nouns and taken as a whole. For example, a flock of birds, where 'flock' is Collective Noun.

• We also have to know that a Collective Noun acts as a Singular Number and thus we write 'is' after it.

• Here 'a pair of shoes' means a collection of two shoes (that is a Singular Number) and thus we write 'is' after it.

• Our final answer is: A pair of shoes is lying under the table.
