SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 81

SSC CHSL Tier II - 02 Nov 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q81

Choose the appropriate option to make the following sentence grammatically correct.

Neither of the biscuits you gave me _________ chocolate chips.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. contains.

Out of all the options, option 1 'contains' is correct because the verb in the sentence needs to agree with the subject. 

"Neither of the__" uses a singular verb to go with it. 

"Contain" is used with plural nouns. "are contained" and "is contain" are grammatically incorrect.
