Question

Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the grammatical error.
Neither Amit nor Raju are staying with his parents in Mumbai.

A.

are staying

B.

in Mumbai

C.

with his parents

D.

Neither Amit nor Raju

Correct option is A

The segment "are staying" contains the grammatical error.
· The correct form should be "is staying," because the subject "Neither Amit nor Raju" is singular when using "neither/nor," requiring a singular verb.
· Grammatical rule: With subjects joined by "neither/nor," the verb agrees with the nearer subject, which in this case is singular.
· Example: Neither the manager nor the employees are responsible for this error, correctly adjusting the verb based on the nearest plural subject.
