In which sentence does the verb agree with the subject?
a. Neither braids nor a ponytail keeps my hair out of my eyes.
b. Dominoes or a board game are a good choice for tonight.
c. Either Mom or Dad cook dinner for the family each night.
In
sentence construction, a sentence must naturally have a subject and a
predicate.
In
the sentences above, the most logical sentence where the verb agrees with the
subject is letter B with the sentence:
“Dominoes or a board game are a good
choice for tonight.” In
cases like the sentence A: Neither braids
nor a ponytail keeps my hair out of my eyes. ‘braids nor a ponytail’ were supposed to be
the subjects however, the verb agreed to another subject at the end of the
sentence which is ‘my eyes’. Same case for
letter c.
