  1. Question 1

    Q1. Which option uses the correlative pair correctly?

    • A) Either the interns or the supervisor have to approve the form.
    • B) Either the interns or the supervisor has to approve the form.
    • C) Either the interns nor the supervisor has to approve the form.
    • D) Neither the interns or the supervisor has to approve the form.

    Answer: Either the interns or the supervisor has to approve the form.

    Explanation: With "either…or," the verb agrees with the subject closer to it (proximity rule); "the supervisor" is singular, so the singular "has to" is correct.
