Complete the following: Neither my friend nor my well-wishers .................................................

• A. have sent me pleasantries
• B. has sent me pleasantries
• C. is send me pleasantries
• D. are send me pleasantries

Answer 1

Answer:

A. have sent me pleasantries

With “neither…nor”, the verb agrees with the subject closest to it.

👉 Sentence:
Neither my friend nor my well-wishers ___

• Closest subject = well-wishers (plural)

• So, use a plural verb → “have”

✔️ Correct sentence:
Neither my friend nor my well-wishers have sent me pleasantries.

Why others are wrong:

• B) has sent ❌ → singular verb (doesn’t match plural “well-wishers”)

• C) is send ❌ → grammatically incorrect

• D) are send ❌ → wrong verb form
