The verb to be placed in the statement should agree with the subject of the sentence.
In the given sentence, the subject is 'Sita or her brothers'.
Here, due to the usage of 'or', only one person is performing the action depicted by the verb.
The verb placed in the sentence will be in accordance with the word immediately before the verb.
Here, brothers is a plural noun, hence the plural verb is placed.
Out of the given options, only 'are' is the plural verb.

'selling for' and 'selling at' are very similar, and in a casual conversation they can be easily used interchangeably, however they may refer to different situations. "the book was sold for $5" indicates a sale of one or more books. "the book was sold at $5" discusses the price of a book and doesn't mention the process of being sold. In the given question 'selling at' is the correct usage.

'Who' functions as a subject, while 'whom' functions as an object. Use 'who' when the word is performing the action. Use 'whom' when it is receiving the action.

Question: My house is there . . . . . . . . from railway station?
Answer: C. kilometer

First, let's define the terms:
Liter: A unit of volume, typically used for liquids.
Kilogram: A unit of mass.
Kilometer: A unit of length equal to 1000 meters.
Meter: A unit of length.

The question asks for the distance between the house and the railway station. Distance is measured in units of length. Therefore, liter and kilogram are incorrect because they measure volume and mass, respectively, not distance.

While both meter and kilometer are units of length, kilometer is the more appropriate choice in this context. The distance between a house and a railway station is typically quite large; using meters would result in a very large number, making the sentence cumbersome and less natural. Kilometer provides a more concise and practical way to express this distance.

Therefore, the correct answer is kilometer because it is the appropriate unit of length for measuring relatively large distances, like the distance between a house and a railway station.

We use first form of the verb (v1 form of the verb/present tense form of the verb) with 'did' or 'didn't'.
Example: I didn't go there yesterday.

Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader. The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known.

The word 'whose' is the possessive form of the pronoun 'who'. It is used in questions to ask who owns something, has something, etc. 'Who' becomes 'whose' just like he and she becomes his and her.

We use the past perfect continuous to talk about actions or events which started before a particular time in the past and were still in progress up to that time in the past.
Example: It was so difficult to get up last Monday for school. I had been working on my essays the night before and I was very tired.

'play with' here simply means play along with his/her brother. Hence, 'with' is the right usage.

When two identities are compared like here it is done between 'subject' and 'verb'. We use 'of' preposition after relationship.
