Question

Fill in the blanks with the correct option:
In this game, you _____ win ______ lose. There is nothing in between.

• A. so ; that
• B. either ; or
• C. neither ; nor
• D. either ; nor

Answer 1

The correct option is B either ; or

Option B is the correct answer because 'either; or' is used in a sentence in the affirmative sense when referring to a choice between two possibilities which in this question is to win or to lose.

Option A is incorrect simply because it would be grammatically incorrect and illogical if used in the sentence.

Option C is incorrect because 'neither; nor' is used in a sentence in the negative sense when you want to say that two or more things are not true and this is not the case in the given sentence.

Option D is incorrect because it is a grammatical rule that 'either' is always followed by 'or' and never by 'nor' which only follows 'neither'.
