Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
_____ Peter nor I was able to drive home.

• A. Either
• B. Not only
• C. Nor
• D. Neither

Answer 1

The correct option is D Neither

In the given sentence 'nor' is a part of a compound conjunction. Thus, the answer must be the other part of the same compound conjunction.

Option A is incorrect. 'Either' is not the correct conjunction to be paired with 'nor'. Thus, it is not the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect. 'Not only' is the compound conjunction that is paired with 'but also' and not 'nor'. Thus, it is not the correct answer.

Option C is incorrect. 'Nor' cannot be paired with with 'nor' as the sentence will not make any sense.

Option D is correct. 'Neither' is a part of the compound conjunction 'Neither...Nor'. Thus, it is the correct conjunction to be paired with 'nor'.
