Answer:

The correct form of the verb to fill the sentence would be "was".

Explanation:

  • This can be explained using subject-verb agreement which governs the form of the verb that is used along with a specific subject depending on the form of the subject.
  • When "neither" is used in a sentence, the verb that is used along with it is always of the singular form.
  • This is because neither acts as a subject of the sentence and it is singular, therefore a singular verb must be used along with it.
  • Thus, here the sentence would be "Neither of the two brothers was selected for the team".
  • The same rule is also followed when the word "Either" is used.
