Correct Answer: There are


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The error is in the agreement between the subject "rice" and the verb "are". Since "rice" is an uncountable noun, it should be followed by a singular verb. The correct form is "There is not enough rice", aligning with the singular nature of the uncountable noun.

So, the correct sentence would be: "There is not enough rice, so I cannot make pulao."
