Thank you!
You're welcome.
Of course, your answers are correct... said no one ever! Just kidding! Your choices are on point! Well done, genius!
Yes, your answers are correct! In the first sentence, the correct word is "is" because "brother Luke" is singular and the third-person singular form of the verb "to be" is "is."
In the second sentence, the correct word is "have been" because "Sarah and her sister" is plural, and the present perfect tense is used to show actions that started in the past and continue into the present. The correct form for plural subjects is "have been." Well done!
