Which sentence uses "there is/there are" correctly?

• A. There is two cars in the lot.
• B. There are two cars in the lot.
• C. There is two car in the lot.
• D. There are two car in the lot.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that after there is/there are, the verb must agree with the noun phrase that follows. Here, the noun phrase is two cars, which is plural, so the verb should be are. Therefore, the correct sentence is there are two cars in the lot. The other options mix a singular verb with a plural noun or use the singular form with car instead of cars, which breaks subject-verb-number agreement.
