Question:

Spot the error in the following sentence. Neither the police officer nor the suspects were present when the verdict was announced.

1.
Neither the police officer
2.
nor the suspects were present
3.
when the verdict was announced
4.
No error

Correct Answer: No error

There is no error. With neither nor, the verb agrees with the nearer subject, which is the plural suspects, so were is correct. Treating neither as always singular is the trap here.
