For either/or and neither/nor, does the SAT...?

[sghopeful]

<p>adopt the proximity rule:</p>

<p>Either Jane or the boys are to report to the stadium tomorrow morning.</p>

<p>or the</p>

<p>singular rule:</p>

<p>Either Jane or the boys is to report to the stadium tomorrow morning.</p>

<p>What is the definitive stance on this?</p>

<p>I don’t think the SAT tests this, but the first one (“Either Jane or the boys are to . . .”) is standard, while the second one is non-standard.</p>
