Subject-Verb Agreement

• The subject-verb agreement provides us with the rules for the correct placement of the verbs according to the subject.

• Any sentence containing 'neither' should take a singular verb.

• The verb 'is' is a singular auxiliary verb. Thus, it is the correct answer.

• 'Are' represents a plural verb. Thus, it cannot be the answer.
