Preview: Explanations

1."isn't"(a)

'Juice' is uncountable, so we use 'isn't' (= is not). There isn't any juice left.

2."Are"(c)

'Restaurants' is plural, so we use 'Are'. Are there any good restaurants near the hotel?

3."there is"(b)

The question asks 'Is there...?' (singular), so the short answer is 'Yes, there is.' — matching the singular form.

4."aren't"(d)

'Students' is plural, so we use 'aren't' (= are not). There aren't any students in the classroom.

5."Is"(d)

'A pharmacy' is singular, so we use 'Is'. Is there a pharmacy near here?
