Identify the part of the given sentence that has a grammatical error: Neither the principal nor the students (1)/ has completed (2)/ their assigned fieldwork (3)/ before the scheduled deadline. (4)
- (1)
- (2)

Correct answer: (2)
Solution
In a neither-nor construction, the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. Since "students" is plural, the verb should be "have completed," not "has completed."
