Choose the correct sentence, noting that the pronoun ‘you’ always takes a plural verb form regardless of number: ‘___ my best friend.’

Explanation

The pronoun ‘you’ always takes the plural verb form, such as ‘are’ rather than ‘is’ and ‘were’ rather than ‘was,’ even when referring to a single person, giving ‘You are my best friend.’ This is a distinctive historical feature of English grammar, since ‘you’ originally functioned only as a plural or formal pronoun before becoming the standard form for both singular and plural use.
