Question : Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'.
The radio data shows neither evidence for ongoing jet activity.
Option 1: The radio data shows
Option 2: neither evidence for
Option 3: No error
Option 4: ongoing jet activity.
Correct Answer: neither evidence for
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Explanation :
The correct structure when using neither is to pair it with nor to form correlative conjunctions. In this sentence, the phrase "neither evidence for" is incorrect. It should be "neither evidence nor". The conjunction "nor" is used to introduce the second element in a negative construction after "neither".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The radio data shows neither evidence nor ongoing jet activity.
