" nobody " is a singular noun...so you need a singular verb. So what do you think now ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

oops..I think " nobody " is a pronoun functioning as the subject

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

but your still gonna need the singular verb

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@Sworewolf The correct answer is B. Is, because if you took out "on either of the teams" the answer is right there staring you in the face.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):
