Question

determine whether or not the sentence below is grammatically correct. then, explain your reasoning.
either the teacher nor the students was late.\ reason why this is the letter of your answer. parallel voices challenge: who quote 1 \fear is stronger than love. all that love i gave didn’t mean nothing when it came to fear.\

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The sentence "Neither the teacher nor the students was late." is grammatically incorrect. In "neither...nor" constructions, the verb should agree with the noun closest to it. Here, "students" is plural, so the verb should be "were" instead of "was". For the quote "Fear is stronger than love. All that love I gave didn't mean nothing when it came to fear.", the double - negative "didn't mean nothing" is incorrect. It should be "didn't mean anything".

Answer:

The first sentence is incorrect because of subject - verb agreement error. The quote has a double - negative error.
