From the words or groups of words below, choose the words or group of words that best complete each of the following sentences :
The book is not in his locker and it's not in that cupboard _________
A. neither B. again C. either D. even
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C. either.
- Either: This is the correct choice because "either" is used to indicate that something is not true in one case and also not true in another. The sentence structure "not in his locker and it's not in that cupboard either" correctly conveys that the book is in neither location.
- Neither: Incorrect, as "neither" is typically used to start a sentence or clause to indicate that two things are not true. It doesn't fit well in the middle of this sentence.
- Again: Incorrect, as it suggests repetition, which is not the intended meaning here.
- Even: Incorrect, as it does not fit the context of negation in this sentence.
Summary:
- The book is not in his locker and it's not in that cupboard either is the correct and natural way to express that the book is not found in both locations.
