Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. as his health is not more good.
The segment is incorrect due to the subjects and the pronoun not agreeing in the sentence.
Whenever we use "Neither...nor" in a sentence, we tend to follow the verb/pronoun according to the latter subject.
Here, the latter subject is my brothers-in-law which is plural and thus use of "his" is wrong.
The correct sentence is- Neither my brother nor my brothers-in-law attended the meeting as their health is not more good.
