Question

Which of the following sentences is grammatically INCORRECT

Make sure you tell Jim that the printer is out of ink
Either the broken lamp nor the stained rug was thrown out with the trash
Both John and Jack are going to the park to watch the baseball game
As an office, we should cut down on our use of Styrofoam cups.

Answer 1

Answer : Either the broken lamp nor the stained rug was thrown out with the trash.

This statement "Either the broken lamp nor the stained rug was thrown out with the trash" is obviously grammatically incorrect. The obvious reason is that the statement should be "Either the broken lamp or the stained rug was thrown with the trash". The word "nor" should be used parallel with the word "neither".
