    Question

    A sentence has been given with a blank to be filled with an appropriate word. Choose the correct alternative.
    Either he or I ______ leading the team tomorrow.

    A.

    is

    B.

    are

    C.

    am

    D.

    were

    Correct option is C

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) am.
    Explanation:
    When two subjects are joined by “ either…or”, the verb agrees with the subject closer to it.
    Here, “I” is closer to the blank, so we use “ am”, the correct helping verb for "I".
    Correct sentence: Either he or I am leading the team tomorrow.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Subject-verb agreement with correlative conjunctions:
    · With "either...or" / "neither...nor", the verb agrees with the nearest subject.
    Example:
    · Either you or she is attending.
    · Either you or I am responsible.
