Answer 1

The Chinese are thought to be loyal to their families

Answer 2

Among the options provided, the correct and most appropriate statement is option a) "The Chinese are thought to be loyal to their families."

Explanation: The sentence in question is discussing the perception that some people have about the loyalty of the Chinese towards their families. To convey this idea correctly, we need to use the correct verb forms and word order.

In this case, the verb "to think" is used to express the perception or belief of some people. The subject of the sentence is "some people," and the object of the verb is "the Chinese." Therefore, the sentence should be structured as "Some people think (subject + verb) that the Chinese (object) are loyal to their families."

Option a) is the only option that follows this structure correctly and uses the appropriate verb form "are" to match the subject "the Chinese."

Let's break down the options provided and explain why the other options are incorrect:

- Option b) "The Chinese are think to be to be loyal to their families" is incorrect because it uses the verb "think" in the wrong position. The correct form is "Some people think" rather than "The Chinese are think."

- Option c) "The Chinese is thought to be loyal to their families" is incorrect because it uses the singular form of the verb "is" instead of the plural form "are" to match the subject "the Chinese."

Therefore, the correct and most appropriate statement is option a) "The Chinese are thought to be loyal to their families."
