Dear Friends,

Which is correct?

Neither my boss nor the other head of the departments has agreed.

or

Neither my boss nor the other head of the departments have agreed.

B. The verb will follow the latter part of parallel construction.

Two singular subjects connected by or, either/or, or neither/nor require a singular verb. They are alternate subjects.

If one of the subjects is plural, the verb should agree with the one that is closer to it.

If you are writing such a sentence, by putting the plural subject second, so that it is closer to the verb, you can create a sentence that sounds better than one that includes a plural alternate subject and a singular form verb.
