Select the most appropriate verb form to fill in the blank in the following sentence. Neither she nor I ___ getting the Trophy this year.

Correct option is A

The correct option is (a) am.

Explanation:
The sentence uses the correlative conjunction Neither ... nor. When two subjects are joined by neither...nor, the verb agrees with the subject that is closest to it (the subject nearest to the verb). In this sentence, the subjects are she and I. The subject closest to the verb is I, so the verb must agree with I.

Grammatical Rule (English):
With Neither...nor / Either...or, the verb agrees with the nearer subject.

• Neither she nor I → verb agrees with I → am

• (b) are – Used with you, we, or plural subjects; not appropriate with I.
• (c) was – Past tense; the sentence is in the present tense.
• (d) is – Used with third person singular (he/she/it); the nearer subject is I, not she.
