صحیح مضمون فعل کے معاہدے کے ساتھ جملے کا انتخاب کریں؟
Answer: Either the cat or the dog was responsible for the mess
Explanation
In this sentence, "Either the cat or the dog" is a compound subject connected by the coordinating conjunction "or."
When you have a compound subject joined by "or," you choose the verb form that agrees with the closer part of the subject.
In this case, "dog" is closer to the verb than "cat," so the singular verb "was" is used, resulting in proper subject-verb agreement.
