Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The students are studying in the library.
- Step 1: A plural subject takes "are", and the present continuous needs the -ing form.
- Step 2: "Are studying" is correct.
Answer
The students are studying in the library.
Why not the others: "Is" does not agree with a plural subject, and the other two lack the auxiliary or use the wrong verb form.
