Detailed explanation-1: -The reason the above sentence is correct is because the verb in the sentence is governed by the pronoun “either.” Either is in the third person singular; therefore, it must take has.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a sentence has two subjects connected by or/nor, either/or, or neither/nor, the verb must agree with the second subject (the subject closer to the verb). EXAMPLE: Neither the dogs nor the cat is going outside. The singular subject “cat” matches the singular verb “is.”
Detailed explanation-3: -"Either” and “neither” are singular concepts. (They contrast with the word “both.") The word “either” can be a pronoun or a determiner. “Either” means “one or the other of two things.” It attracts a singular verb.
