Option E uses an incorrect form of adjective (One half). Option D uses the correct article that is used before the word (One and a half) that starts with a consonant sound as 'half; hence, it the correct answer.

Answer(s): B

Option C uses a present tense singular verb (is). Option D uses a past tense singular verb (was). Option E uses an indefinite pronoun (some) in the place of a verb. Option B uses a present tense plural verb (are) that is appropriate to the sentence; hence, option B is the correct answer.
