1. These are
2. These are
3. This is
4. These are
5. This is the Jones Family. These are the Joneses.
The trickiest is number 5. The others are fairly simple, if you look at whether the word you referring to is singular or plural (ex. "Range" (s); "Lakes" (pl)). Even number 5 follows this rule, but can be harder to intuit.
