Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The given sentence is "Neither Ram nor Rahim are present in the meeting"

Concept:

• We can use neither as a conjunction with nor, Which connects two or more negative alternatives.

• The verb must agree with the subject when neither/nor is used in a sentence.

Case 1:

• If the both nouns are singular, then the verb will be singular. Eg: neither Thiya nor Riya is absent.

Case 2:

• If the one noun is singular, other noun is plural, then we need to go to the noun closer to the verb.
• If plural noun is closer to the verb, the verb is plural. Eg: Neither the van nor the cars are fast enough.
• If Singular noun is closer to the verb, then the verb is singular. Eg: Neither the cars nor the van is fast enough.

In the given sentence, both nouns are singular, then the verb will be singular.

The correct form is: Neither Ram nor Rahim is present in the meeting.
