Instructions

Which of the phrases (A), (B), (C) and (D) given below should replace the phrase given in ‘’bold’’ in the following sentence to make the sentence grammatically correct ? If the sentence is correct as it is and no correction is required, mark (E) as the answer.

Question 186

They didn’t pay and heed to their superior’s instructions ‘’I did neither.’’

Solution

“Nor” doesn’t necessarily have to appear in a sentence with the word “neither.” “Nor” can start a sentence. Another option is to combine the two negative ideas into one sentence and then start the second part with “nor” as should be done in this sentence. The correct sentence should be, 'They didn’t pay and heed to their superior’s instructions nor did I'. D is the right answer.
