Question
Either the boy or the girls ___ to stay for the night.
A. choose
B. choses
C. chooses
D. has chose
Solution
The correct answer is C. "chooses".
Here's why:
In English, when we have a sentence with "either...or" or "neither...nor", the verb agrees with the subject that is closer to it. In this case, "the girls" is closer to the verb, but "the girls" is not the subject that is closer to the verb. The subject closer to the verb is "the boy".
Since "the boy" is singular, we need to use the singular form of the verb "to choose", which is "chooses".
So, the correct sentence is: "Either the boy or the girls chooses to stay for the night."
