Fill in the blank in the following sentence with the most appropriate option:
Either Gopal or Amit ____ the membership of the Routledge journal.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
With 'either... or', the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it. Both 'Gopal' and 'Amit' are singular, so the singular verb 'has' is required: 'Either Gopal or Amit has the membership.' Stative possession also rules out the continuous forms.
