Answer Details

The correct answer is "was". The sentence is in the past tense, and the subject is "Neither Jack nor Jill," which is singular. Therefore, the correct form of the verb to use is "was", not "were" or "are". "Is" is also incorrect because it is present tense, and the sentence is referring to a past event.
