Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The complete sentence is: "Either Munni or Chunni has lost her pen."
Grammatical Rule: When using correlative conjunctions like "either...or" or "neither...nor," the verb must agree in number with the subject that is closest to it.
Application: In this sentence, the two subjects are "Munni" and "Chunni." Since "Chunni" is the subject closest to the verb blank and is a singular proper noun, the singular verb form "has" is required.
