Correct Answer: can't be used either as a table mat or as a table napkin


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The original sentence contains a double negative with "can't be used neither". The correct phrasing should use "either" to maintain proper negation. The revised sentence provides a grammatically correct and clear expression of the idea that the commodity cannot serve as both a table mat and a table napkin.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: This commodity in clay-coloured material can't be used either as a table mat or as a table napkin."
