Question

Select the part of the sentence that has an error:
(If the sentence is correct, select "No Error".)

a) Either my colleague b)or a peon are coming home c)with the material today. d)No error

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is B b

Here, "are coming home" is incorrect: when two subjects are connected by "either...or" then the verb is used according to the closest subject. "Peon" is a singular subject and requires the singular verb "is." Option B is the answer to the given question.
