Question

Following is a set of four sentences. Choose the sentence which is most appropriate – grammatically, semantically and logically.

Options:

A . Neither the king nor his ministers desires war.

B . Neither king nor his ministers desires war.

C . Neither the king nor his ministers desire war.

D . Neither king nor his ministers desire war.

Answer: Option C
:
C
Option: (C)
Because we are talking about a particular king we should use 'the king'. Moreover the verb should be consistent with the noun after 'nor'. The noun ministers (plural) takes the verb because it is near to the verb, hence desire.
