Correct Answer: (3)


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

There is a subject-verb agreement error in the sentence. In the case of "either.....or", the verb should agree with the subject closest to it. Since Jyoti is a singular subject it should agree with the singular verb "has". Thus, it should be has done the crime instead of have done the crime.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Either Parmeet or Jyoti has done the crime .
