  • 2. 

    We __________ hungry.

    • Are

    Correct Answer
    A. Are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "we" is plural. In English grammar, the verb "to be" conjugates as "am" for the first person singular (I), "is" for the third person singular (he/she/it), and "are" for the first, second, and third person plural (we/you/they). Therefore, in this sentence, the correct form of the verb "to be" is "are" to agree with the subject "we."
