b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5
ANSWER: 3
Replace 'their' with 'his'.
When two different nouns are joined by 'either...or; neither...nor', the pronoun is used according to the number and gender of the second noun.
The correct sentence should be: Neither the students nor the teacher was in his class.
e.g. Either your brother or you have done your work.
