Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is; is.

Explanation:

Subject-verb Agreement:

• When the subjects connected by or and subjects are of different people, the verb agrees with the one closest to it, according to the subject-verb agreement rule.
• Because there are two different subjects specified in our supplied sentence, and the second subject is singular, we must employ the singular form of the helping verb 'is' because it is a present-tense statement.
• So, the complete sentence will be Either string beans or broccoli is my favorite vegetable.
