Answer 2

Neither Rasipa nor Reeta was present. -This is the answer.

About subject verb agreement:

• In the sentence given where we must fill in with the most appropriate verb form.
• We have to fill in with the verb based on the noun/ subject used.
• The noun and verb must agree in person and number with each other.
• That is the singular nouns must take singular verbs and plural nouns must take plural verb.
• It should also vary according to the first, second and third person usage in the sentence.
• In the question, we have two nouns 'Rasipa' and 'Reeta'. But they are joined using 'neither...nor'. It means that 'it is not Rita or it is not Reena'.
• Thus the subject should be considered as singular and so it takes singular verb 'was/ is'.
