Question
Fix any errors with subject-verb agreement below. Click "Submit Answer" if there are none.I heard that either the Jonas Brothers or Reverend Lovejoy are going to be making our breakfast this morning.
Solution
The corrected sentence would be: "I heard that either the Jonas Brothers or Reverend Lovejoy is going to be making our breakfast this morning."
The subject closest to the verb determines the agreement in sentences with either/or or neither/nor. In this case, "Reverend Lovejoy" is singular, so the verb should also be singular ("is").
