AND = plural subject, always uses ARE
either or, neither nor = singular subject, so verb agrees with the last listed subject closest to the verb
Note: Don's and LG's answers are wrong on #5
(which is not "are").
Either the students or the teacher IS planning to come. (not "are")
Ruth's answer is wrong on #1
which is not "is."
Both the teacher and the student ARE here. (not "is")
