Correct Answer: Neither of the two companies is winning


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation:

If a sentence starts with "neither" followed by the preposition "of", the subject is considered singular and is followed by the singular verb. Thus, "Neither of the two companies are winning" should be replaced with "Neither of the two companies is winning".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Neither of the two companies is winning in the price war."
