S: skin
V: is

S: Neither
V: help

1 is wrong. "The eyes or the skin (is, are) often adversely are affect by a lack of Vitamin A." That is the correct way to put it.

It’s the easiest place for me.
yeah it all seems right
# 2 Neither is not the subject. hair is.
# 3 Aren’t all 3 the subject?
#4 sedentary
On the second one, it’s helps as the verb but otherwise, your good.
1, 3 look wrong to me. There is more than one subject in each of these.
1. S = eyes, skin
2. S= bleach, dyes
3. S = Tomatoes, Brussel Sprouts, orange
V= are
4. S= Sedentary
5. correct
6. correct.
