Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
Either Ramesh or Reema have the keys to the cupboard.
Option 1: or Reema have
Option 2: the keys
Option 3: Either Ramesh
Option 4: to the cupboard
Correct Answer: or Reema have
Solution : The correct choice is the first option .
Explanation : In the case of "either/or", the verb must agree with the subject closest to it, which in this case is singular ("Reema"). Hene, the verb "have" should be replaced with "has" to maintain the subject-verb agreement in the sentence and make it grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Either Ramesh or Reema has the keys to the cupboard."
