3. __________________ a kitchen in my flat.

Explanation

The correct answer is "There is." This is because when referring to a singular noun, such as "a kitchen," we use the singular form of the verb "to be," which is "is." "There is" indicates the existence of something in a specific location, in this case, a kitchen in the speaker's flat.
