Read the sentence carefully. Neither the coat nor the hat are in the theater’s coatroom, and neither are in the lost and found. Which sentence corrects the error in subject-verb agreement?

The subject “neither the coat nor the hat” refers to two singular items joined by “nor,” so the verb is singular: “is.” The second “neither” is also singular and takes “is.” Therefore, the sentence with “is” in both places—“Neither the coat nor the hat is in the theater’s coatroom, and neither is in the lost and found”—corrects the agreement error.
