The author has provided a partial answer to a question on first-order neutral delay differential equations posed by \textit{G. Ladas} and \textit{I. Gyori} [Oscillation theory of delay-differential equations with applications, Clarendon Press, Oxford (1991; Zbl 0780.34048)]. Indeed the following result has been established: If \(\int^\infty_{t_0} Q(t)dt=\infty\) and \(Q(t+\tau/n)\leq Q(t)\) for \(t\in[t_0,\infty)\), where \(n\) is any fixed positive integer, then every nonoscillatory solution of \[ [y(t)+ y(t-\tau)]'+ Q(t)y(t-\sigma)=0,\quad t\geq t_0, \] tends to zero as \(t\to\infty\), where \(\tau\in(0,\infty)\), \(\sigma\in[0,\infty)\) and \(Q\in\mathbb{C}([t_0,\infty),\mathbb{R}^+)\).
