Answer options

  1. am
  2. are
  3. No improvement
  4. was

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: are

Explanation: The correct answer is B.✅ The correct usage in this context is "How are you?", which is the standard way to greet someone. The subject “you” requires the plural form of the verb “are”, even when referring to one person. “How is you?” is grammatically incorrect because "is" is used with third-person singular subjects (he/she/it). Correct sentence: “Hello! How are you?”
