The children are playing in the grass.

a. Are the children playing in the grass?
b. Is the children are playing in the grass?
b. The children are playing in the grass.

Answer 1

Answer:

a.are the children playing in the grass

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Are the children playing in the grass?

Explanation:

B. is incorrect because it uses "is" when there is more than one subject. 'Children' refers to more than one child, so we can safely mark this option out.

C. is incorrect because there is no question asked, or question mark. Any sentence not ending with a "?" but rather a period is more times than not, not a question but a statement.

Option A is correct because the sentence uses 'are' when there is more than one subject, and uses a question mark.
