Question

Which sentence demonstrates proper subject/verb agreement? (Remember, "either" is singular.)

Answer 1

The sentence that best demonstrates proper subjective/verb agreement is option B. Either of the options are good. Why did we use "are" instead of "is" for either? It is a general rule that in using either/or and neither/nor, the verb should agree to the noun it preceeds. Since the noun is in the plural form "options", we used "are" instead. Hope this answer helps.
