The following comment is in reply to those who questioned the answer given to Question 54. First, the general rule that seems to have prompted the question. Yes, in a neither/nor sentence where one noun is singular and the other is plural, the noun nearest the verb will determine the verb tense. For example, "Neither John nor his PARENTS WERE able to attend." And "Neither his parents nor JOHN WAS able to attend." But, sentence 54 contains two singular subjects. The rule applies to subjects of different NUMBER, NOT of different GENDER.. So, the fact that "Mary" is closer to the verb is of no consequence here. Next, if we consult the OED, we find the following guidance: "Gender Neutrality: 'When referring to people of different genders with 'neither...nor,' use the singular 'they' pronoun if you want to maintain gender neutrality."

Question: #7: Two correct answers: Answer A, past perfect. Answer B, present perfect. #10: Answer C also, simple past. #17: Answer B is incorrect. The sentence subject is "you," so the objective case pronoun "whom" should be used. #18: Answer C also correct, simple past. #31: If referring to a specific movie, answer C. If referring to just some general movie, answer A. #68: Answer C also correct. #71: Answer B superlative (more than two being compared). Or Answer A comparative (only two being compared). #88: Yes, answer C is correct. But "boys" is merely plural, not possessive. #93: Answer B also correct, simple past. #99: Answer C also correct, simple past.
In the question there are 3 options "his" "her" "their" According to you " their " is wrong so I suggest you to go there and read the question and it's options carefully you will understand why we have used " their ".

Why have you used "their"
Verb and Possession come according to the nearest Subject.
In the question there are 3 options "his" "her" "their"
According to you " their " is wrong so I suggest you to go there and read the question and it's options carefully you will understand why we have used " their ".
