d. 4
e. 5
ANSWER: 3
'Neither...nor' is the negative of 'Either..or'. It means, 'Not one or the other of the two'.
This conjunction is used in negative sense.
Formula 1: (One person – two qualities/actions – two alternatives – both not applicable)
| Subject + | Verb/HV + | Neither + | Q1/A1 + | Nor + | Q2/A2 |
|---|
| Mohan | is | neither | mad | nor | stupid. |
Here, two qualities have been mentioned and the subject is concerned with neither of them.
Replace '
not' with '
nor'.
'Neither..nor' is used in pair.
The correct sentence should be: Samay is
neither right
nor wrong.
