The correct form of the verb estar that would be used in this sentence is "están".
The correct form of the verb estar that would be used in the sentence "They are in the car" is "están".
To determine the correct form of the verb "estar" that would be used in the sentence "They are in the car," we need to consider the subject of the sentence and the subject pronouns associated with each verb form.
The subject pronouns we have to choose from are:
- "está" is the form of "estar" that corresponds to the third person singular (he/she/it). Example: "Él está en el coche" (He is in the car).
- "estás" is the form of "estar" that corresponds to the second person singular (you, informal). Example: "Tú estás en el coche" (You are in the car).
- "están" is the form of "estar" that corresponds to the third person plural (they). Example: "Ellos están en el coche" (They are in the car).
- "estáis" is the form of "estar" that corresponds to the second person plural (you all). Example: "Vosotros estáis en el coche" (You all are in the car).
In this case, the subject "They" refers to a group of people, so the correct form of "estar" to use in the sentence is "están." Therefore, the correct answer is:
