Listen to the audio and answer the question below.
Sophie is asking for a number. Which answer is correct?
There are ten tablets in the storage room.
Ten tablets is in the storage room.
This is incorrect grammar as the subject and verb don't match.
It's ten tablets there.
This sentence is unclear and informal. It doesn't follow proper sentence structure.
Are ten tablets in the storage.
This is phrased like a question and storage is missing the word room.

The correct structure to give a count is:
There are + cardinal number + item in the plural form + in + place. — There are ten tablets in the storage room.
This is grammatically correct and clearly answers the question.
