Choose the correct form: Neither of the candidates ____ submitted the required documents.
- A. have
- B. has
- C. were
- D. are
Explanation
Neither is a singular pronoun, so it takes a singular verb regardless of the plural noun in the prepositional phrase that follows. The phrase of the candidates does not control the verb. The same rule governs each, either, everyone and none used in the singular sense.
