Question

Neither Mr. Gupta's sons nor his daughter _____ to the gym regularly.

• A. gone
• B. go
• C. going
• D. goes

Answer 1

Answer:

D. goes

• In subjects joined by "neither...nor," the verb agrees with the closest subject. Here, "daughter" is singular, so the verb should also be singular: "goes."

• "gone"

  • "Gone" is the past participle of "go" and doesn't fit the grammatical structure needed here.

• "go"

  • "Go" is plural, which would agree with "sons," but since "daughter" is closest and singular, "go" is incorrect.

• "going"

  • "Going" is the present participle and doesn't correctly complete the sentence structure.
