Neither the teacher (1)/ nor the students (2)/ were
willing to accept (3)/ the unfair decision. (4) The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error and select the option which rectifies that error. If no error is present then mark option 5 i.e., 'no error' as your answer.Solution
The error is in part 3. When using "neither...nor," the verb agrees with the subject closer to it. In this sentence, "students" is the subject closer to the verb, and since "students" is plural, the verb should be "were." Therefore, there is no error in the sentence. The correct answer is E. No error.
