In sentence construction, a sentence must naturally have a subject and a predicate. In the sentences above, the most logical sentence where the verb agrees with the subject is letter B with the sentence: “Dominoes or a board game are a good choice for tonight.”
In cases like the sentence A: Neither braids nor a ponytail keeps my hair out of my eyes. ‘braids nor a ponytail’ were supposed to be the subjects however, the verb agreed to another subject at the end of the sentence which is ‘my eyes’. Same case for letter c.
