Answer
brought

The correct answer is brought — Write the completed sentence: "Neither the teacher nor the students brought the books yesterday."

Step-by-step solution

  1. Understand that "neither ... nor" with two plural nouns takes a singular verb.
  2. Recall the simple past of "bring" is "brought."
  3. Apply the singular verb form "brought" after the plural subject phrase.
  4. Write the completed sentence: "Neither the teacher nor the students brought the books yesterday."
Common mistake: Using a plural verb form after neither/nor

Concept tested: Subject‑verb agreement with neither/nor
