Question:

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.

Neither Priya nor Rashmi is planning a trip.

Options:

is plan a

No improvement required

are planning a

will planning an

Correct Answer:

No improvement required

Explanation:
 

The correct option is No improvement required.

The sentence is in the negative and uses the singular verb "is" because neither Priya nor Rashmi is a plural noun. The other options are not correct because they use the plural verb "are" or the future tense "will planning".

The sentence could be rewritten as:

  • Neither Priya nor Rashmi is planning a trip.

This sentence conveys the meaning that neither Priya nor Rashmi is planning a trip.
