निम्नलिखित वाक्य में 'Subject-Verb Agreement' के नियमों के अनुसार रिक्त स्थान की पूर्ति के लिए सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प का चयन कीजिए: "Either the teacher or the students ________ present in the class yesterday."
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Subject-Verb Agreement के नियमानुसार, जब दो subjects को 'either...or' या 'neither...nor' से जोड़ा जाता है, तो क्रिया (verb) हमेशा अपने निकटतम (nearest) subject के अनुसार प्रयुक्त होती है। यहाँ निकटतम subject 'the students' है, जो कि एक बहुवचन (Plural) संज्ञा है। अतः इसके साथ भूतकाल (Past tense) की बहुवचन क्रिया 'were' का प्रयोग होगा।
