Question

Neither he or nor his servent _____
A) is left
B)leave
C)has left
D) have left

Answer 1

Neither he nor his servant (C) has left.

Explanation:

• Subject-verb agreement, in simple terms, means the agreement of the subject and verb with the use of the number, i.e, either singular verb or plural verb.
• The subject-verb agreement in the case of "neither...nor" will be in such a way that the use of has/ have will depend on the subject nearest to it.
• So, in the given sentence, the subjects are "he" and "his servant" and "the servant" is the subject nearest to the verb.
• Since 'the servant' is a singular third-person noun, "has" will be used in the sentence.
• Thus, the final answer is "neither he nor his servant has left".
