Question

Fill in the blank with an appropriate verb.
Either Hari or I ______ at mistake today.

• A. Am
• B. Is
• C. Are
• D. Were

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Am

Option A, 'am', is the correct answer because 'either/or' form part of the subject of a verb and both elements are singular, then the verb must be singular too. The verb should also agree with the closer subject.

Option B is incorrect because 'I is' is grammatically incorrect in standard English.

Options C and D are incorrect because these plural verbs does not agree with the singular subject 'I'.
