    Question

    Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    These tutorials are so elementary that they can help neither you nor I.

    A.

    so elementary that

    B.

    neither you nor I

    C.

    These tutorials are

    D.

    they can help

    Correct option is B


    Option (b) "neither you nor I" contains an error.
    · Explanation: The pronoun "I" should be in the objective case, which is "me," because it is the object of the verb "help." The correct phrase should be "neither you nor me."
    · Grammatical rule used: When using "neither... nor" in a sentence, the pronouns that follow should be in the objective case if they are objects of the verb.
    · Example:
    · Incorrect: They can help neither you nor I.
    · Correct: They can help neither you nor me.
