Spot the error.Neither the aliens who were invading or the people who were being invaded really understood what was happening.
Correct answer: B. Or
- A. Who
- B. Or
- C. Were being
- D. What was happening
Explanation
The sentence should read: "Neither the aliens who were invading nor the people who were being invaded really understood what was happening."The word "or" should be replaced with "nor" because "neither" is used to indicate a negative condition, and "nor" is the correct correlative conjunction to use in this case.
