Either her mother or I am to be blamed. Meaning dat one of us is to be blamed not both of us.
either U or, I am to be blamed
either U or, I are to blamed
This is d secret, neglect d part of d sentence b4 d comma in d 2 options above, try to read dem from d I am and tell me which of dem sounds correct and which sounds stupid
The correct answer is __"is" i.e, ...or I is to blame not "are". The last pronoun determines the verb to be used
I'm tired of seeing mistakes like this one. You of all should know In Concord, the closest noun or pronoun to the verb determines if the verb will be singular or plural. 'I' is the closest. Ask any good English speaker or tutor. The answer should be 'am' E. Try checking JAMB's A-Z Use of English
My school plz the correct answer is E. dat is am
Let me xplain. take note of the word “Either“ in ur question. Which means U are refering to one person. Also remember dat “are“ is plural of “is“. Now if U ar refering to one person y then do u use plural auxilary verb “are“
Yes correct, two singular subject(mother nd I), require just a single verb(am).
The selected answer is wrong:
In concord whenever "either begins a sentence and followed with singular subject"i" it must be a singular tense,i.e single subject goes with singular verb
