Respuesta :

A singular subject joined by or/nor requires a a. singular verb.

The correct answer is A.

Subjects and verbs must agree with one another in number ( singular and plural ). If a subject is singular, the verb must also be singular, if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural too.

With compound subjects joined by or/nor, the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it.

Neither the father nor the children go to the park today.

children ( plural ) = verb go ( plural )

Neither the children nor the father goes to the park today.

father ( singular ) = verb goes ( singular )
