本题考查英语中主谓一致的用法，需根据不同主语类型及主谓一致规则确定动词的正确形式。解题思路：1. 判断句子主语的类型（如动名词、不定代词、并列结构等）；2. 匹配对应的主谓一致规则（如动名词作主语视为单数、either/or遵循就近原则、both/and连接复数主语等）；3. 结合一般现在时的动词变化规则确定最终形式。

1. 主语Swimming是动名词，作主语时谓语动词用单数，结合一般现在时，故help变为helps；
2. either...or...连接主语时遵循就近原则，靠近be动词的是单数名词running，故用is；
3. both...and...连接两个并列主语，视为复数，故need用原形；
4. nobody是不定代词，作主语时视为单数，结合一般现在时，故want变为wants；
5. each of+复数名词作主语时，核心主语是单数的each，结合一般现在时，故prepare变为prepares；
6. neither...nor...连接主语时遵循就近原则，靠近be动词的是复数名词players，故用are。
