The grammatical error in the sentence stems from subject-verb agreement. The sentence reads:
Neither the manager nor the employees has submitted their reports yet.
In this structure, "neither...nor" requires the verb to agree with the noun closest to it. Here, the closest subject to the verb is "employees," which is plural. Therefore, the verb should be "have" instead of "has." The grammatically correct sentence should be:
Neither the manager nor the employees have submitted their reports yet.
Error Segment: "has submitted"
Subject | Verb |
Neither the manager nor the employees | have submitted |
