• If two plural subjects are joined by 'neither nor,' the verb is also plural. If it joins two singular subjects, the verb is also singular.

• When a sentence contains the conjunction 'as well as,' we need to consider the subject closest to the verb. 'Principal' is a singular subject. Therefore, it takes a singular verb.

• Some nouns might sound plural but refer to a single thing. 'Politics' therefore takes a singular verb.

• The closest subject to the verb is considered in 'either-or.' The closest subject, in this case, is 'I.' Thus, the verb is 'am.'
