SSC CHSL 2024 PYQ — Question 16

SSC CHSL - 11 July 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q16

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.
Neither Janki or I am to receive the award.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. nor.

The correct choice is "nor" because neither...nor is a fixed correlative conjunction pair.

In this structure, neither is followed by nor connects the two negative elements (Janki and I).

Using or would be incorrect because it doesn't match the negative structure introduced by either.

So, the sentence should be: "Neither Janki nor I am to receive the award."
