OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
B. The original sentence contains both a conjunction error and a subject-verb agreement error.
Whenever you see neither, you must also see nor. Neither Choice (A) nor Choice (C) pairs nor with neither. Eliminate them.
You’re left with Choices (B), (D), and (E). The verbs in these three choices are different. Choice (B) contains a singular verb, and the other two have plural verbs. The subject of the clause is neither, and neither is singular. Therefore, Choice (B) has to be correct because it contains the singular verb.
