Answer: True.
Explanation:
The statement made above is true. In a situation where we have two or more subjects and the conjunctions (or, either/or, neither/nor), the verb will agree with the subject that is found nearest the verb. Some examples are:
- Maria or Eva is bringing pizza. (In this case, the verb is singular and it agrees with 'Eva')
- Either my mom or her sisters have made the cake. (The verb is plural and agrees with 'sisters')
- Has either my mom or her sisters made the cake? (The verb is singular, as it agrees with the closest subject, which is 'my mom')
- Neither you nor them are going to come to the party. (The verb agrees with 'them' and is in plural form)
