Correct Answer: are interested
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation : The subject-verb agreement is incorrect in this sentence. When "Neither... nor" connects two subjects, the verb agrees with the closer subject. In this case, "I" is closer to the verb "are." However, "I" is a singular pronoun, and the correct verb form should be "am." The correct sentence should be "Neither Sam nor I am interested in attending the meeting."
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Neither Sam nor I am interested in attending the meeting."
