I agree with martin.jonson007, C is correct.

"...her and Mozart had seven children" is grammatically incorrect.

To test this, ask yourself if you would have said "Her had seven children" or "She had seven children".

This brings us to the 2 options that have "she".

Now, we have neither-nor describing 2 out of the 7 children. However when we use neither, we are speaking of each of them. It's like saying "Each of them was unmarried." We must therefore use singular auxiliary verb "was", as used in option C.

Good luck!

I'd go with C as well: 1. She should be used instead of her. 2. Neither will take a singular verb.

For the first part of sentence, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the subject.

And as you know, the part of sentence followed by the semicolon ";" is an independent statement and can stand on its on. In the underlined part "her and Mozart" is the subject. Since "her" is the subject, we need "she". "Her" is an object pronoun whereas "she" is a subject pronoun.

The correct answer is C.

Hope that helps..
