ANSWER : 2
Descrption
<p>The correct option is:</p><p>B. was</p><p>The rule at play here is subject-verb agreement. When the subject of a sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by "neither...nor," the verb should agree with the noun or pronoun closer to it.</p><p>In this sentence, the subject is "neither the players nor the trainer." Both "players" and "trainer" are nouns, but they are connected by "nor," indicating a negative correlation between them. According to the rule, we choose the verb form that agrees with the noun or pronoun closest to it. </p><p>In this case, "trainer" is closer to the verb, so we use the singular form of the verb, which is "was." Therefore, the correct sentence is: “Neither the players nor the trainer was in the room.”</p>
