Indian Overseas Bank LBO Mock 03 – Question 86

Question:

Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error:
(A) Neither the senior management / (B) nor the internal auditor were aware / (C) of the fraudulent transactions taking place / (D) in the overseas branch.

(a) (A)

(b) (B)

(c) (C)

(d) (D)

(e) No error

वाक्य के उस भाग की पहचान करें जिसमें व्याकरण की त्रुटि है:
(A) Neither the senior management / (B) nor the internal auditor were aware / (C) of the fraudulent transactions taking place / (D) in the overseas branch.

(a) (A)

(b) (B)

(c) (C)

(d) (D)

(e) No error (कोई त्रुटि नहीं)

Correct Answer: (b)

Explanation:

Error is in part (B): With ‘Neither… nor’, the verb agrees with the subject following ‘nor’ (‘the internal auditor’, singular). Therefore, ‘was aware’ should be used instead of ‘were aware’.

भाग (B) में त्रुटि है: ‘Neither… nor’ में ‘nor’ के बाद आने वाले कर्ता (‘the internal auditor’, एकवचन) के अनुसार क्रिया ‘was aware’ होगी। विकल्प (b) सही है।
