Solution

To determine the correct answer for the sentence "Neither you, nor I nor anyone else .............. (know/knows) the answer", we need to analyze the subject of the sentence to find out whether it requires a singular or plural verb form.

Analysis

  1. Subject Identification: The subjects in the sentence are "you", "I", and "anyone else". The phrase "neither... nor" indicates a choice between two subjects which typically takes a singular verb.

  2. Verb Agreement: In English grammar, when using "neither... nor" with multiple subjects, the verb agrees with the nearest subject, which is "anyone" in this case. "Anyone" is a singular pronoun.

Final Answer

The correct answer is b. None of the above, as the verb should be "knows". Thus, the completed sentence is: "Neither you, nor I nor anyone else knows the answer."
