"Too, too" is redundant and incorrect in this sentence structure.

Not applicable since option C is correct.

A) There.
B) They're.
C) Their.

Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
B) They're.
The phrase "They're" is a contraction of "they are," which fits the context of the sentence, indicating that someone's birthday plans are being ruined because they cannot get their Big Mac. If we were to use "There," it would not make sense in this context as it refers to existence or location. "Their" is possessive and does not fit grammatically here. "None of the above" is incorrect since "They're" is a valid option.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect, "There" does not fit the context.
Option B:
Correct, "They're" means "they are."
Option C:
Incorrect, "Their" is possessive and doesn't fit grammatically here.

Option Analysis:
Option A:

Not applicable as the correct answer is provided in Option B.

C) Two.
D) None of the above.
Show Answer
Explanations:

Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect because "To" should not be followed by a comma in this context.
Option B:
Correct as explained above.
Option C:
"Two" is a number and does not fit the sentence structure.
