"or" has correct subject/verb
agreement?
(Use the Proximity Rule!)
A. Either cups OR bowls is in the cabinet.
B. Either cups OR plates is in the cabinet.
C. Either bowls OR cups are in the cabinet.
D. Either plates OR a bowl are in the
cabinet.

Answer 1

C. Either bowls OR cups are in the cabinet.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you're dealing with plurals, multiple things with an "s" at the end of the word like multiple bowls and multiple cups, you use an "are" instead of "is."
