Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

The error lies in the subject-verb agreement. When using either...or , the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. In this case, the subject closest to the verb is Jyoti, which is singular so "has" is the correct singular verb to be used here.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Either Ankit or Jyoti has done this.
