Neither Priya nor Rashmi is planning a trip.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct option is No improvement required.
The sentence is in the negative and uses the singular verb "is" because neither Priya nor Rashmi is a plural noun. The other options are not correct because they use the plural verb "are" or the future tense "will planning".
The sentence could be rewritten as:
- Neither Priya nor Rashmi is planning a trip.
This sentence conveys the meaning that neither Priya nor Rashmi is planning a trip.
