Preview: Explanations
1."There is"(d)
'Noise' is uncountable and we are talking about the existence of noise, so we use 'There is'. 'It is' would describe something already mentioned.
2."Are there"(c)
'Films' is plural, so we use 'Are there' to ask about their existence. Are there any good films on TV tonight?
3."There are"(a)
'Parking spaces' is plural, so we use 'There are'. There are no parking spaces in this area.
4."are there"(a)
In 'How many' questions, we invert the word order: 'are there' (not 'there are'). How many rooms are there in your house?
5."There are"(d)
'A few clouds' is plural, so we use 'There are'. There are a few clouds in the sky.
