Question : Directions: A sentence or a part of the sentence is printed in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose "No Improvement".
Neither parties deserves our help.
(1) parties deserve
(2) parties deserved
(3) party deserves
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
Explanation : The original sentence, "Neither parties deserves our help", contains a subject-verb agreement error. The correct form should be "Neither party deserves our help". "Neither" is used to point out a singular entity here, so it should be followed by the singular form "party" and the singular verb "deserves" to maintain the subject-verb agreement.
Hence, the correct sentence should be: "Neither party deserves our help."
