Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Pursued or interested in a new field.

The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the wrong use of the conjunction.

Concept-

  • We need to replace "or" with "nor" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  • As the conjunction "never" is being used here we need to use another negative word.
  • So we need to use "nor" at the place of "or".

The correct sentence will be

If you have creative streak which you have never pursued nor interested in a new field, gather your energy and move towards it.
