Which sentences are grammatically correct? (i) Arun and Aparna are here. (ii) Arun and Aparna is here. (iii) Arun’s families is here. (iv) Arun’s family is here.
The compound subject “Arun and Aparna” is plural and takes “are”, making (i) correct and (ii) incorrect. “Families” is plural, so (iii) cannot take “is”. The singular collective noun “family” takes “is” in (iv). Thus **(i) and (iv), B**.
