They do or they are?

When my interlocutor says:" I think they seem to be hating each other insanely."

Do I reply I'm sure they do or I'm sure they are?

I'm sure they do (seem to be hating each other insanely). while grammatically correct, makes little sense (logically). I'm sure they are (hating each other insanely).

  • I'm sure they do (seem to be hating each other insanely).
  • while grammatically correct, makes little sense (logically).
  • I'm sure they are (hating each other insanely).
  • seems like a more logical response to the original sentence.
