in case "Neither-Nor" the verb must agree with the second subject (the subject closer to the verb).
Q16. Neither of the two stores _________ open.
Sentence begins with "neither" or "either" without the "or/nor" combination, the verb is singular.
Q17. The student, as well as his teacher ________ going on the excursion.
Explanation: - The subject is the singular "The student" even though the phrase "as well as his teacher" adds another noun. With such parenthetical addition, the verb agrees with the main subject: singular → was going (past continuous). - Options A (have) and C (were) clash with the singular subject. B (has) could fit a different tense but not with the present continuous sense here; the given sentence uses going (progressive), so "was going" is appropriate. Exam Tip: When a phrase like "as well as" adds information, ignore it for subject-verb agreement; treat the main subject (before the phrase) as the one to agree with.
