Correct Answer: has replied


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

In the case of neither...nor, the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. In this case, the verb should agree with the singular noun "Veena", and thus should be singular, that is, "has".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Neither Rama nor Veena has replied to the email I sent yesterday."
