Correct Answer: Neither she not I


Solution : The option that contains an error is the third option.

Explanation: The correlative conjunction "Neither...nor" is used to connect two elements that are both negative or affirmative. The correct structure should be "Neither she nor I" to maintain the form of correlative conjunctions. The error in the given sentence lies in the incorrect use of "not" after "neither".

So, the correct sentence would be: " Neither she nor I am going to take part in the debate competition".
