Question
Spot the grammatical errors in the given sentence. Mark the part with error as your answer. If there is no error, mark "No error" as the answer. (Ignore punctuation error)Neither his bodyguards (a)/ nor he (b)/ were willing (c)/ to make their presentation (d).
Solution
The error is in part (c) of the sentence. The correct form should be "was willing" because when using "neither/nor" or "either/or", the verb agrees with the subject closer to it. In this case, "he" is closer to the verb, so the verb should be singular "was", not "were".
