Preview: Explanations
1."Is"(a)
We use 'Is' before a singular subject (your sister) when asking about identity or profession. 'Is your sister a nurse?'
2."Do"(b)
We use 'Do' with 'you' to form questions with verbs like 'like'. 'Do you like Italian food?' — 'like' is a verb, so we need do-support.
3."Is"(c)
'Cold' is an adjective, so we use 'be' (Is) to form the question. 'Is it cold outside today?'
4."Do"(b)
'Tom and Sarah' is a plural subject. We use 'Do' (not 'Does') with plural subjects when asking about action verbs. 'Do Tom and Sarah live in London?'
5."Does"(d)
'She' is third person singular, so we use 'Does' with action verbs. 'Does she speak French?' — note the base form 'speak', not 'speaks'.
