Question

I)A car and a bike are my means of transportation.
II)Breaking and entering is against the law.
a)I
b)II
c)Either I or II
d)Neither I or II

Answer 1

Hint: One needs to be able to understand the subject-verb agreement that needs to align with the verbs in the sentences.

Complete step by step solution:
The sentence I is totally correct since there are two entities, ‘are’ is the correct verb to be used here. Sentence II is also correct, since ‘breaking and entering’ is considered one complete act and not two different verbs, hence ‘is’ the correct verb to be used here.
Option a, cannot be chosen, since both the sentences are correct and neither of them can be considered wrong, hence it is an incorrect option. Option b, cannot be chosen either, since we discussed above, that both the sentences are correct and neither of them can be considered wrong, hence it is an incorrect option. Option c, clearly neither of the sentences is wrong, hence this option cannot be chosen, hence, it is an incorrect option. Option d, clearly neither of them are incorrect, hence this is the correct option. Hence option d is the correct option.

Note: The tricky part of this question can be to know ‘breaking and entering’ is one act, not two separate ones.
