Answer 4

[is]. When the nominative is a noun' is' is used for plural as well as singular in the present tense of 'to be' :-The men is good.

But it is never used with pronouns of the first or second person in their nominative form, or with the pronoun they. it is used, however, after all pronouns in their disjunctive form.
