Question

Neither of two boys _ _ _ _ done the work.

• A. has
• B. have
• C. is
• D. are

Hint:

Neither is generally treated as singular, so use singular verbs like has, is, was.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
When the subject is \[ \text{Neither of} \] it is generally treated as singular. So it takes a singular helping verb.

Step 1: Identify the subject. The subject is \[ \text{Neither of two boys} \] This means not one and not the other. It is singular in sense.

Step 2: Choose the correct helping verb. Since the sentence contains \[ \text{done} \] we need a perfect tense helping verb. For singular subject, we use \[ has \]

Step 3: Complete the sentence. \[ \text{Neither of two boys has done the work.} \]

Step 4: Final answer. \[ \boxed{\text{has}} \]
