    Correct Answer
    A. Does
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "does." In this question, we are asking about the location of the subject's mother. The word "does" is used to form questions in the present tense for third person singular subjects, such as "she," "he," or in this case, "your mother."

    Correct Answer
    C. Are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are" because when using the pronouns "you" and "I" as the subject of a sentence, the verb that follows should be in the plural form. In this case, "are" is the correct form of the verb "to be" to match the subject "you and I."

    • D.

      Having

    Correct Answer
    B. Has
