Answer & Solution
Answer: Option
C
Solution:
First, let's look at the first blank in the question: "A: Where ____they born?"
1. The subject here is "they". "They" means more than one person, so it's a plural subject.
2. When we talk about something in the past (like being born), we use "was" or "were".
3. We use "was" for singular subjects (like I, he, she, it).
4. We use "were" for plural subjects (like we, you, they).
5. Since our subject is "they", the correct word for the first blank is "Were".
6. This immediately tells us that Options B and D are incorrect because they start with "Was". So, we are left with Options A and C.
Next, let's look at the second blank in the answer: "B: They _____born ____."
1. Again, the subject here is "They", which is plural.
2. Just like in the question, for the plural subject "They" in the past tense, we use "were".
3. Both our remaining options (A and C) have "were" for the second blank, so this part is correct in both.
Finally, let's look at the third blank: "B: They were born ____."
1. The question started with "Where". The word "Where" always asks about a place.
2. Now let's compare the third part of our remaining options (A and C):
* Option A says "in 1995". This is a year, which tells us WHEN they were born, not where.
* Option C says "in Denmark". Denmark is a country, which tells us WHERE they were born.
3. Since the question specifically asked "Where", providing a place is the most appropriate answer.
Therefore, the most suitable option that correctly fills all the blanks and answers the question properly is Option C: Were / were / in Denmark.
It correctly uses "Were" for the plural subject "they" in the question, "were" for the plural subject "They" in the answer, and provides a place ("in Denmark") as the answer to "Where".
