Two girls applied for the post but neither___successful.
a.was b.were c.is d.are咋选？请说明原因

a
neither的谓语是单数，且是过去时

A.
Neither = not this and not that .

[usage] Some commentators insist that neither must be used with a singular verb. It generally is, but especially when a prepositional phrase intervenes between it and the verb, a plural verb is quite common <neither of those ideal solutions are in sight ― C. P. Snow>.

C
neither后要用单数

a 单数 过去式
