Hello,

Which of the following is the best answer in this conversation?

A: Let's try the X restaurant. The food is ok and it's not too far from here. We can walk in ten minutes.
B: Yes. _______________.
C: Ok, whatever...

1) I'm tired.
2) We have no time.
3) Have a quick ride.
4) There's a taxi though.

I feel that 4) is the best answer, but shouldn't it be "there are taxis" or the singular form is ok too?

Thank you,

Nawee
