Question : Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option 'No correction required' if the sentence is correct as given.
He looked around for Bunty or Vinay, (but either off) them was anywhere near him.
Option 1: No correction required
Option 2: moreover neither of
Option 3: because either of
Option 4: but neither of
Correct Answer: but neither of
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation : But neither of is the appropriate phrase to convey that neither of the mentioned individuals (Bunty or Vinay) was close to the speaker. "Neither of" is followed by the singular verb.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He looked around for Bunty or Vinay, but neither of them was anywhere near him.
