- 2.
Neither of his parents .... about this affair (know)
Explanation
The correct answer is "knows" because when using the phrase "neither of his parents," it implies that both parents are being referred to as a collective unit. In this case, the verb "knows" is used to agree with the subject "neither," which is singular. Therefore, the correct form of the verb is "knows."Rate this question:
- 3.
A committee ...... immediately appointed to investigate the case ( be)
Explanation
The correct answer is "was" because the sentence is in the past tense and the subject "committee" is singular. "Was" is the past tense form of the verb "be" that agrees with a singular subject.Rate this question:
- 4.
The wages of sin always ............. him (haunt)
Explanation
The verb "haunts" is the correct form to use in this sentence. The subject "wages of sin" is plural, so the verb should agree with it. Therefore, "haunts" is the correct form for the third-person singular subject. The word "haunts" means to continually trouble or disturb someone, which fits the context of the sentence.Rate this question:
- 5.
Nitu or her parents .... sure to come (be)
Explanation

- 7.
Either his uncle nor his parents .... responsible for this (be)
Explanation
The correct answer is "is" because the subject of the sentence is "either his uncle nor his parents," which is a compound subject joined by the coordinating conjunction "nor." When using "either...or" or "neither...nor" constructions, the verb should agree with the subject closest to it. In this case, "his parents" is plural, but "his uncle" is singular. Since "his uncle" is closer to the verb, the verb should be singular, hence "is" is the correct form.Rate this question:
- 8.
Either Renu or her brother... disclosed the secret (have)
Explanation
The correct answer is "have" because the subject of the sentence is "Either Renu or her brother," which is a compound subject. When the subject is a compound subject joined by "or," the verb should agree with the closer subject. In this case, "brother" is closer to the verb "have," so it should be "have" instead of "has."Rate this question:
