Solution 1
The error is in part 3 of the sentence. When using "neither/nor" in a sentence, the verb should agree with the noun or pronoun closest to it. In this case, "the teacher" is closest to the verb "were", so it should be "was" instead. So, the correct answer is c.3.
Solution 2
The error is in part 3 of the sentence. When using "neither/nor" or "either/or", the verb should agree with the subject closer to it. In this case, the subject closer to the verb is "the teacher", which is singular. Therefore, the verb should also be singular. So, "were" should be replaced with "was". The correct sentence should be: "Neither the students nor the teacher was in his class." So, the answer is c.3.
