Answer 3

The correct variants of the verb 'to be' for the given sentences are:

1. Mr Brown and Mrs Smith were in the shop.
2. Kate was not in Prague last year.
3. My mum was in the kitchen 3 seconds ago.

Explanation:

1. In the first sentence, "Mr Brown and Mrs Smith" refers to multiple people, so the plural form of the verb 'to be,' which is 'were,' should be used.

2. In the second sentence, "Kate" refers to a single person, so the singular form of the verb 'to be,' which is 'was,' should be used.

3. In the third sentence, "My mum" refers to a single person, so the singular form of the verb 'to be,' which is 'was,' should be used.
