True.

Explanation:

The statement made above is true. In a situation where we have two or more subjects and the conjunctions (or, either/or, neither/nor), the verb will agree with the subject that is found nearest the verb. Some examples are:

Maria or Eva is bringing pizza. (In this case, the verb is singular and it agrees with 'Eva')Either my mom or her sisters have made the cake. (The verb is plural and agrees with 'sisters')Has either my mom or her sisters made the cake? (The verb is singular, as it agrees with the closest subject, which is 'my mom')Neither you nor them are going to come to the party. (The verb agrees with 'them' and is in plural form)
