Of the two buses that stop near our school, neither bus goes past the hospital.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Distributive Adjective
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Here “neither” takes the two buses one at a time and says that not one of them goes past the hospital.
