Question

There is / there are

q 10.

my answer is there are, because i see the sum of fruit here is more than 1.​

Answer 1

Actually, the answer is “there are.” The fact that a singular object comes first doesn’t matter. We’re speaking about multiple objects in the same sentence.

Answer 2

Actually, it's "there is".

True, there are multiple objects, but since there is only one apple, and the apple is spoken of directly after the choice, it's "there is".
