Neither the students nor the teacher ... to make up the class they missed.
(a) wants
(b) want
(c) had wanted
(d) have wanted
My tutor said that only (a) is correct. I think (b) is also correct (at least) in British English.
Am I right?
Dear Mr Alan, could you explain this case thoroughly to me?
Many thanks..

Yes, many BrE speakers would accept a plural verb here.
