Question

Identify the part of the sentence with the error: "Neither of the answers are correct in this question."

• A. Neither
• B. of the answers
• C. are correct
• D. in this question

Hint:

\textbf{Key Fact:} "Neither" takes a singular verb when referring to one of two subjects.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The error in the sentence is the verb phrase "are correct." The subject, "Neither," is singular. Subject-verb agreement requires a singular verb. The correct verb is "is." The sentence should be: "Neither of the answers is correct in this question." To correct this:

• Subject: "Neither."
• Subject Number: Singular.
• Verb Agreement: Use "is" for a singular subject.
• Corrected Sentence: "Neither of the answers is correct in this question."
