Question

Which of the following sentences is grammatically INCORRECT?

Answer 1

The answer is B. This is because "either' and "nor" cannot be used together. Instead, "either/or," is a pair, or "neither/nor," which is the negated version of "either/or." To make this sentence correct, you would say "Neither the broken lamp nor the stained rug was thrown out with the trash," OR "Either the broken lamp or the stained rug was thrown out with the trash."
