Select the sentence that correctly uses a correlative conjunction.
Neither the manager nor the employees were willing to compromise.
The correlative conjunction "neither" must be correctly paired with "nor," and the verb agrees with the noun closest to it, which here is the plural "employees."
"Neither the manager nor the employees were willing to compromise" correctly pairs "neither...nor" and uses the plural verb "were" to agree with "employees."
The other options wrongly pair "neither" with "and," "with," or "but" instead of its correlative partner "nor," which is grammatically invalid.
Therefore, "Neither the manager nor the employees were willing to compromise" correctly uses the correlative conjunction.
