Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
The committee concluded that the proposal was not acceptable nor was it feasible for implementation.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: neither acceptable nor feasible
Explanation
• The correlative conjunction pair neither... nor is used to connect two negative alternatives.
• Correlative conjunctions require parallel grammatical structures. Here, both elements following neither and nor should be adjectives: acceptable and feasible.
• The original phrasing 'not acceptable nor was it feasible' is unnecessarily wordy and lacks parallelism.
Correct Sentence: The committee concluded that the proposal was neither acceptable nor feasible for implementation.
