Answer 2

Answer:

1) was

2) were

Explanation:

1) Each boy and each girl is given a present.

2) Neither the headmaster nor the teachers were present at the meeting.

My ear tells me "Each boy and each girl is given a present."

Grammatically, while the subject of the sentence is compound, I believe that the verb should agree with each element of the subject. So, again "Each boy and each girl is given a present."
