Question:

The following sentence is divided into three parts. Identify the part containing the error. "Neither the principal / nor the teachers were informed / about the inspection."

1.
Neither the principal
2.
nor the teachers were informed
3.
about the inspection
4.
No error

Correct Answer: No error

With "neither...nor", the verb agrees with the nearer subject — "teachers" is plural, so "were informed" is correct, and the sentence has no error. The trap is (b): many assume "neither" forces a singular verb, but proximity governs the agreement here.
