Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The error lies in the third option "or his wife ."

"Nor" should be used in place of "or". "Nor" is the appropriate conjunction, as " neither" is always followed by "nor" since they both are correlative conjunctions and should always be used in a pair.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be "Neither he nor his wife has arrived ".
