The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error.

Neither the supervisor nor the workers (A)/ has received (B)/ the updated safety manuals (C)/ from the administration yet. (D)/ No error

The correct answer is B.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Analyze the grammatical rule for correlative conjunctions:
When a subject consists of two nouns or pronouns connected by "neither... nor..." or "either... or...", the verb must agree in number (singular or plural) with the subject that is closer to it. This is known as the rule of proximity.

2. Identify the subjects and the verb in the sentence:
- First subject: "the supervisor" (singular)
- Second subject: "the workers" (plural)
- Verb: "has received" (singular verb form)

3. Apply the rule of proximity:
The subject closer to the verb is "the workers", which is plural. Therefore, the verb must also be plural to agree with "workers".
The singular verb form "has received" in part (B) should be replaced with the plural verb form "have received".

4. Conclusion:
Part (B) contains the grammatical error because it uses the singular verb "has" instead of the plural verb "have". The corrected sentence is: "Neither the supervisor nor the workers have received the updated safety manuals from the administration yet."
