Correct Answer: nor in a


Solution : The second option is correct.

  • Replace or on the with nor in the to make the sentence correct.
  • We can use neither as a conjunction with nor . It connects two or more negative alternatives.
  • So, in the given sentence, it will be neither in business nor in the job .
  • The meaning of or is used as a function word to indicate an alternative, the equivalent, or the substitutive character of two words or phrases.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: He is interested neither in business nor in a job.
