Hola Stuart M.

Hola! Yes, if the answer refers to a singular subject, you would use es instead of son. The verb ser must agree in number with the subject. For example, if the answer is uno, you would say "Es uno". If the answer is dos or more, you would say "Son dos".

Let me know if you need further clarification.

¡Gracias! 😊
