Question

Of the four given options, choose the most appropriate one.

A.

Neither of the two men were strong enough to lift the weight.

B.

Neither of the two men was stronger enough to lift the weight.

C.

Neither of the two men was strong enough to lift the weight.

D.

Neither of the two men was strong enough nor to lift the weight.

Correct option is C

The correct sentence is (c) Neither of the two men was strong enough to lift the weight.
The phrase "neither of" is always followed by a singular verb, even though it refers to two subjects. Hence, "was" is correct, not "were." Additionally, the phrase "stronger enough" in option (b) is grammatically incorrect; it should be "strong enough."
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Subject-Verb Agreement: When "neither" is used, the verb must be singular, as it refers to "neither one" of the subjects.
Grammatical Rule in Hindi:
"Neither of" का उपयोग करने पर क्रिया हमेशा एकवचन (singular) होगी, भले ही यह दो विषयों को संदर्भित करता हो।
