Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'.
Either Sam or Ishita have invited her for the Christmas party.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. have invited her.
The error in the sentence is related to the use of incorrect verb.
When we use neither - nor or either - or, the subject closest to the verb determines whether you use a singular/plural verb. This is also called the proximity principle.
The subject that the verb agrees to is "Ishita".
It is a singular subject so the singular verb "has" should be used instead of "have".
The correct sentence will be: Either Sam or Ishita has invited her for the Christmas party.
