Question

Read the sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part.
(a) Since it was his first election campaign, the candidate was confused; (b) none could clearly understand (c) either the principles he stood for or the benefits he promised.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(c)

Here, the sentence means that both his principles and benefits weren't understood: either-or construction indicates only one is true. Thus it should be neither-nor to mean both the options. So, the error is in part (c) of the sentence. Option C is the answer.
