Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. But neither has any papers.
Error Concept: Subject–verb agreement.
What is wrong: “Neither have” is incorrect here.
Grammar Concept: “Neither” is singular, so it takes a singular verb (“has”).
Incorrectness in context: Using “have” makes it plural, which doesn’t match “neither.”
Correction: Replace “have” with “has.”
Correct phrase: But neither has any papers.
Final sentence: Each of the two farmers wants the certified seeds but neither has any papers.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
