Answer & solution
- A
Gopal and Ramesh have not finished his work.
- B
Gopal and Ramesh has not finished his work.
- C
Neither Gopal nor Ramesh have finished their work.
Neither Gopal nor Ramesh has finished his work.
Solution
When ‘neither’ is followed by ‘nor’, the verb depends on the noun following ‘nor’. In this case it is singular,
hence the verb should also be singular.
Hence, option 4.
