Either the eggs or the car's exhaust smell awful.
Either the eggs or the car's exhaust smells awful.
Too me smells sounds better in the sentence.
OpenStudy (lovelyanna):
Ya, but eggs in the sentence is already plural.
Look at this example:
The eagle soars. - Singular.
The eagles soar. - Plural.
Eagle is singular and it uses "soars".
Same with the second example.
