Answer 2

Pencils

Explanation:

Here in the given sentence determiner is used before the noun and it indicates plural form of verb. So according to the grammar rules we have to convert pencil into pencils.

When the determiner is used before the noun and it indicates singular form then we have to use singular form of the verb.

Examples. A mango, a book, a school, an egg, an engine ,an elephant.

But some determiners indicate plural form of verb so we should use plural form of verb.

Examples -some animals, five ducks, three books, a few flowers, etc.

so the correct answer is- There are five pencils on my desk.
