Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The problem, at least for those holidaying in Gibraltar, is that neither of these hotels _______ a beach.

Correct option is A

The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) has.
Explanation:
The subject is “neither of these hotels”, which is singular.
So, the verb must also be singular: “has,” not “have.”
“Neither” always takes a singular verb.
Example:
Correct: Neither of the students has submitted the homework.
Incorrect: Neither of the students have submitted the homework.
Explain why other options are incorrect:
· (b) have: Plural verb — incorrect for singular subject (have = हैं)
· (c) had: Past tense — sentence is in present tense (had = था)
· (d) having: Verb+ing form — grammatically incorrect here (having = होना)
Information Booster:
In grammatical structures using “neither of”, always use singular verb.
