Choose the most appropriate verb to fill in the blank in the following sentence:

Either Savita or her daughter ______ made this delicious pudding.

was

have

has

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 (was) -> "Was made" would create passive voice, which doesn't fit the intended meaning here.

Option 2 (have) -> This is plural, but the nearest subject "her daughter" is singular, so the verb must be singular too.

Option 3 (is) -> "Is made" would be passive voice and doesn't work with the sentence structure.

Option 4 (has) -> Correctly agrees with the nearest singular subject "her daughter" and forms present perfect tense "has made."

Hence, Option 4 (has) -> In "either...or" constructions, the verb agrees with the nearest subject. Since "her daughter" (singular) is closest to the verb, we use "has" to form the present perfect tense "has made" -> correct
