Answer:

The correct answer is ‘ Neither of the two candidate was present ‘.

Explanation:

The correct answer should be ‘ Neither of the candidates was present ‘ because the verb used in the sentence needs to agree with ‘neither‘ that would signify that neither of candidates was present, therefore the verb used should be singular. Hence, the correct sentence would be "Neither of two candidates was present".
