Question

Either the parents or the boy ______ in this affair.

• B. are to blame
• C. were to blame
• D. have to to blame

Answer 1

Answer:

A. is to blame

• രണ്ടു subject നെ or, either....or, neither...nor, not only... but also എന്നിവ ചേർത്ത് ബന്ധിപ്പിച്ചാൽ second subject അനുസരിച്ചു verb എഴുതണം.

• When using "either...or," the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. In this case, "the boy" is the closest subject, and since "the boy" is singular, the correct verb is "is". Therefore, "is to blame" is the correct answer.
