Question

Choose the option(s) that best fills the blanks:

That house is _____ well-built _____ conveniently located.

• A. neither, nor
• B. either, nor
• C. though, yet
• D. both, and

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A neither, nor
D both, and

Both options A and D are correct as the use of 'neither, nor' could mean that the house is not well built and is not conveniently located or 'both, and' could mean that the house is well built and conveniently located. Both these options make logical and grammatical sense.

Option B is incorrect because as a grammatical rule 'either' should be followed by 'or' and not by 'nor'.

Option C is incorrect because it would be grammatically incorrect and meaningless if used in the sentence.
