Answer 2

The given sentence uses a simple participle of the verb.

Explanation:

Neither you nor your sister should talk to them.

• The appropriate verb form to be applied in the given sentence is talk.
• As the sentence is in simple future tense the participle used is a simple form.
• The options (c) and (d) cannot be applied as the tense of the verb is different from that of the sentence given. Talked is in past tense and Talking is in continuous tense.
• Option (b) is inappropriate as there are two subjects in the sentence and so the verb is singular, talk.
