B
'there are a condition' is incorrect, C,D out.
'has been' is incorrect time usage, out
its - refers to condition, so B is correct

B) there is a condition and its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion
C) there are a condition and its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion
D) there are a condition and it's converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion
E) there has been a condition and its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion
C Poorly formed question. (Use of there is/there are is considered bad practice] What is the source? I just restructured the sentence like this "a condition and its converse are there in Newtonian laws of motion" Also as we need possesive 'its'. C should be correct.

Another C with the same explanation. Subject and verb are inverted.

Agree its C. "Are" is referring to both converse and condition

A) there is a condition and it's converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion
B) there is a condition and its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion
C) there are a condition and its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion
D) there are a condition and it's converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion
E) there has been a condition and its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion
C "There is , are" are flipped questions
Try to invert the sentence or look at the object part directly in flipped sentebce
we have " and " hence we need "are"
it's mean "it is" and not the possessive form
Use present or past perfect only when more than actions at different intervals of time. Kill E
C
