Answer 2

Answer:

Two subjects are accompanied by ‘Neither… or’ so only the subject after ‘or’ will have any effect on the verb. so were will be used

Explanation:

Here the correct answer is 'were'.

In the above given sentence, 'were' will be used.

It is so because 'If two subjects are joined by ''Either....or, Neither....nor, nor, or, not only.....but also'' the verb agrees with the subject nearest to it'.

For Example:-

Neither dhoni nor Kohli is playing today.

Not only India but also Australia lost the test series.

Here, the subject nearest to the verb is 'my parents' which is plural.
