Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
Neither my sister nor me was keen to attend the concert.

A.

Either my sister or me

B.

Neither my sister or me

C.

Neither my sister nor I

D.

No substitution

Correct option is C


The correct substitution is "Neither my sister nor I".
Explanation:
The phrase "Neither...nor" is used to connect two subjects in a sentence, and the verb agrees with the second subject (closest to the verb). Additionally, "me" is incorrect because it is an object pronoun, whereas "I" is a subject pronoun and should be used.
Correct Sentence: Neither my sister nor I was keen to attend the concert.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Subject-Verb Agreement: When using "Neither...nor," the verb must agree with the subject closest to it (in this case, "I").
· Pronoun Usage: "I" is a subject pronoun and should be used as the subject, while "me" is an object pronoun and cannot be used as the subject of the sentence.
Explanation in Hindi:
· "Neither...nor" का प्रयोग तब किया जाता है जब हम दो विषयों को जोड़ते हैं और क्रिया (verb) हमेशा दूसरे विषय के अनुसार ही होती है।
· "Me" एक object pronoun है और subject के रूप में प्रयोग नहीं किया जा सकता, इसलिए "I" (subject pronoun) का उपयोग करना सही होगा।
