Question

Read the sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part.
(a) Neither of the candidates (b) are (c) good.

• A. (a)
• B. (b)
• C. (c)
• D. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is B (b)

Let’s examine the sentence: “(a) Neither of the candidates (b) are (c) good.” The subject of the helping verb ‘are’ is singular, i.e., “neither.” Hence, helping verb for singular noun would be used in the sentence. So, ‘are’ would be replaced by ‘is.’ Hence, the error is in Part B of the sentence. So, Option B is the correct answer.
