SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 5

SSC CHSL - 24 Nov 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q5

Identify Spot the error in the given sentence.

"Neither the captain nor the players has arrived yet."

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The error in the sentence lies in the subject-verb agreement. When using the correlative conjunctions "neither...nor", the verb should agree with the subject closest to it. In this case, "players" is a plural subject, which is closest to the verb. Therefore, the plural verb "have" should be used instead of the singular verb "has".
