Question

ram and shyam are_________ business partner
(A) have
(B) has
(C) are
(D) had​

Answer 1

Ram and Shyam are business partners.

The correct auxiliary verb to be used in the given blank is ''are''. So option (C) is the required answer.

Subject-verb Agreement:

• In ''subject-verb'' agreement, subjects and verbs must agree with one another.

• If the subject is singular then the verb is also singular whereas if the subject is plural then the verb is also plural.

• In the given sentence, the subject 'Ram and Shyam' is plural so the auxiliary verb must be plural too. so we should use the plural auxiliary verb "are".

Since the question is wrong so the correct question is as follows:

Ram and Shyam ________ business partners.

(A) have

(B) has

(C) are

(D) had​
