Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: is
Explanation:
Treat "Kishan and Brothers" as the name of a single business (a singular proper noun).
Subject-verb agreement requires a singular verb for a singular subject, so use "is."
Although the word and usually joins two nouns to make a plural subject, when it is part of a proper name it does not make the name plural.
Correct sentence: “Kishan and Brothers” is a famous bookstore in Kashmir.
Tip: When a phrase like a business name contains and (for example, "X and Sons" or "X and Brothers"), treat it as singular if it is the established name of one entity.
