Answer 2

Answer:

Following the rules of subject-verb agreement, the proper sentence would be:

Neither the man nor his son is convinced of the idea.

Explanation:

This is a type of question which requires us to know the knowledge and sense of Subject-verb agreement.

What is subject-verb agreement?

• This is a grammatical concept where the subject of a sentence must be aligned with the verb of the sentence.
• There are certain rules for determining the singular/plural nature of verbs/nouns.

Some basic rules are:

1. If the subject is singular, then the verb should also be singular.
2. If the subject is plural, then the verb should also be plural.
3. If two or more than two nouns are used in a sentence, then the verb should be plural.
4. When only one subject is used and more than two verbs are used, the verb must agree with the subject.
5. If a phrase/clause comes in between the subject and verb, the main verb of the sentence must agree with the subject and not with the noun/pronoun of the phrase/clause.
6. When two or more subjects/nouns are connected with words like 'or' or 'nor', a singular verb must be used.
7. Non-countable nouns will always take a singular verb.
8. Some countable nouns like earnings, goods, etc. will take a plural verb.
