Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

 Here, (b) is incorrect. Here, the plural form of the verb ‘are’ is used. The sentence tells us that Riya is not going and Aneesh is not going either. Since neither one of the two is going, we must use a singular verb, and not a plural form of verb. Thus, ‘is’ should have been used, which is a singular form of a verb.
