Q
Neither of the two girls …….. late:
AA. Were
BB. Are
CC. Was
DD. Is
Correct Answer:
C. C. Was
Explanation:
"Neither of the two girls was late" is grammatically correct.
Neither" is used to indicate that not one of the two subjects is involved in the action. It is singular in meaning, even though it refers to two items. Therefore, the verb should agree with the singular subject.
The correct verb form to use with "neither" is "was," not "were."
