Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

are

B

is

C

was

D

has been

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. This question tests subject-verb agreement in inverted sentences.

  1. Context clues: The subject "documents" (plural) follows the verb.
  2. Meaning: In sentences beginning with "here/there," the verb agrees with the subject that follows.
  3. Verify: "Here are the documents" correctly matches plural subject.

💡 Strategy: In "here/there + verb" sentences, find the subject after the verb for agreement.

Choice B is incorrect because "is" is singular. Choice C is incorrect because "was" is singular and wrong tense. Choice D is incorrect because "has been" is singular.
