Question

Fill in the blank with the verbs that agree with the subject.
Neither the player nor his sponsors _____ satisfied with the reception the work is receiving.

  1. Is
  2. Was
  3. Are
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

If the pairings 'either/or' or 'neither nor' form part of the subject and at least one of the elements is plural, then the verb must be plural too.

The correct answer is: Are


    When 'or' or 'nor' joins two elements, use a singular verb if both elements are singular. However, if one of the elements is plural, use a plural verb. 'Neither the player nor his sponsors are satisfied with the reception the work is receiving', here 'player' is singular, but the word  'sponsors' is plural. Therefore, 'are' is correct.
