Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. they are the largest creatures
The phrase "it is the largest creatures" is incorrect because "it" is singular, but "creatures" is plural. Instead, we need "they are the largest creatures" because "they" correctly refers to "humans" (a plural noun).
The other options are incorrect:
"it is the most large creatures" ( "most large" is incorrect; use "largest")
"they are a largest creature" ( "a" doesn't fit with "largest," which is a superlative)
