Answer :

• The basket of fruits __is___ to be given to the Sharmas.

➜ Here though the basket of fruits has many fruits ; a collective noun called BASKET has been used to denote singularity. So ; is which is exclusively used for singular things has been used . And as the tense is called with to be given we have used Present tense.

• The box of jewels __was__ stolen by an insider.

➜ Here we get the sense of past tense with the word stolen which is in its V3 form or Past Participle form.

• Rice and Curry___is____ my favourite food.
