Question

A sentence is divided into three parts. Choose the incorrect part. If there is no error in the sentence, choose the option (D).

• A. She neither apologized for
• B. her mistake, nor does she
• C. attempt to rectify it
• D. No error

Hint:

Ensure parallelism of tense across coordinating and correlative conjunctions.
If the first action is in the past (``apologized''), the subsequent action linked by ``nor'' must also use a past auxiliary (``did'').

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the structure.
The sentence uses the correlative conjunction "neither...nor." The first clause "She neither apologized" is in the simple past tense.
Step 2: Apply the tense consistency rule.
In a neither/nor construction, both clauses must share the same tense. Since "apologized" is past tense, "nor does she" (present tense) creates a tense mismatch. It should be "nor did she."
Step 3: Confirm the answer.
The error is in Part 2. \[ \boxed{\text{her mistake, nor does she}} \]
