Explanation:

• Subject verb agreement is one of the most important aspects of English grammar.
• Depending on the nature of the subject- be it singular or plural, the corresponding verb is used.
• The first two sentences exhibit the subject verb agreement.
• The first sentence- 'Elephants (a) _are_ the largest land mammals' ,has a plural subject,'elephants'. Hence the corresponding verb is 'are'.

• The second sentence, ' Three species of elephants (b) __are___ living today.' also has a plural subject-'three species of elephants'.
• Hence the verb in agreement is 'are'.
• The third sentence needs a conjunction to conjoin the two nouns 'elephant', Elephantidae'.
• So the conjunction used is 'and'. Elephants (c) _and_______other Elephantidae
• The last sentence specifies the superlative degree. So the article 'the' is to be used. ' (d) _the________ longest for any land animal.
