Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Since one is talking about multiple schools on both sides of the road, one should use the plural form "schools" instead of "school". "Side" must be used in the singular form because it refers to one of those options at a time.
The sentence conveys the meaning that there are schools on the left side as well as on the right side of the road. So, even though the sentence collectively talks about both sides of the road, it treats each side separately, and that's why "side" is in the singular form.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: There are schools on either side of the road.
