    Of the four given options, choose the most appropriate one.
    Question

    Of the four given options, choose the most appropriate one.

    A.

    Neither of them were invited to the party.

    B.

    Neither of them was invited to the party.

    C.

    Neither of them invited to the party.

    D.

    Neither of them have invited to the party.

    Correct option is B


    The correct sentence is "Neither of them was invited to the party."
    The word "neither" refers to two things or people, and when used with "neither," we use a singular verb. In this case, "was" is the correct form of the verb to match the singular subject "neither."
    Grammatical Rule:
    · Subject-Verb Agreement: When "neither" is used as the subject of the sentence, it takes a singular verb, even though it may refer to two items or people.
    · Correct Sentence: "Neither of them was invited to the party."
    Grammatical Rule in Hindi:
    · "Neither" (न तो) का प्रयोग जब वाक्य में किया जाता है, तो इसके साथ एकवचन क्रिया का प्रयोग किया जाता है, चाहे यह दो वस्तुओं या व्यक्तियों को संदर्भित करता हो।
    Other options are incorrect:
    · (a) "Neither of them were invited to the party." – "Were" is incorrect because "neither" takes a singular verb.
    · (c) "Neither of them invited to the party." – This sentence is incomplete and lacks the auxiliary verb "was" or "were."
    · (d) "Neither of them have invited to the party." – "Have" is incorrect because "neither" is singular, and "have" is a plural verb.
