When the subjects are connected with 'either ... or', the subject that is closer to the verb will determine the nature of the verb (whether it is singular or plural). In the above sentence, 'trustee' is the subject nearer to 'or' and is singular. So, it will take a singular verb.

Three quarters of the student body ________ in favour of the new grading system started by the school authorities.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sub-Verb and Pronoun (April 12) - Question 6

With words that indicate portions, like percent and fraction we look at the noun in the phrase (object of the preposition) to determine whether to use a singular or plural verb. If the object of the preposition is singular or a collective noun, we use a singular verb. So, 'student body' being singular will take a singular verb. So, option 2 is correct.
