Correct option is B
The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) are present at.
Explanation:
· The phrase “into the bus station” is grammatically incorrect and awkward.
· The correct preposition here is “at” when referring to location ( at the bus station).
· The phrase “are present at” correctly expresses the current presence of the subject at the location.
· Also, the subject is compound plural (“community members as well as teachers”), so we use are, not is.
Grammatical rule used:
· Use “ present at” for stating someone’s presence in a specific place.
· Compound subjects with "as well as" are considered based on the first noun (community members – plural → verb = are).
Example: The guests are present at the venue. The guests are into the venue.
