Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Democrats control neither Congress nor the White House, but.
- The correct conjunction is "neither......nor" to refer that both Congress and the White House cannot be controlled by the Democrats.
- Option 1 is wrong because it uses "or" instead of "nor".
- Option 2 is wrong because it changes the subject to "Democrat" and uses "and" with "nor" which is grammatically incorrect.
