Mis amigos son simpáticos
A) el paro laboral
Is the correct choice because it is consistent with the phrase
1. estoy, it explains that she is currently happy
2. es, explains the color of the brush
3. está, location of the brush
4. son, where they’re from
5. it should be están, but bc of the “a” after it confuses me, but it’d explain where they are
"Es" would be the correct answer
