Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. cake is for.
Out of all the options, option 2 i.e. cake is for is correct because the subject and verb agree completely here.
"Cake" is a singular noun followed by a singular verb "is".
In option 1, the singular verb "is" doesn't agree with the plural noun "cakes".
In option 4, the plural verb "are" doesn't agree with the singular noun "cake".
