Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: was
Concept: Proximity Rule with 'Neither... nor'.

Solution: Verb agrees with nearer subject singular 'teacher' $\rightarrow$ was.

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Options A, B, & D: Plural verb forms mistakenly agreeing with distant plural 'students'.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
