Question

Choose the sentence that is grammatically correct.

• A. We can take either the morning flight nor the one in the afternoon.
• B. We can take neither the morning flight or the one in the afternoon.
• C. We can take either morning flight or the one in afternoon.
• D. We can take either the morning flight or the one in the afternoon.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct option is (D): We can take either the morning flight or the one in the afternoon.

Answer 2

This question tests the correct pairing of the correlative conjunction "either...or" and how it is used to present two choices. Let's check each option.

1. Option A: "We can take either the morning flight nor the one in the afternoon." "Either" is wrongly paired with "nor" here. "Either" must always be paired with "or," while "nor" belongs with "neither." Mixing them breaks the correlative pair.
2. Option B: "We can take neither the morning flight or the one in the afternoon." This mixes the two pairs the other way, "neither" with "or" instead of "nor." "Neither" needs "nor," and it also changes the meaning to ruling out both flights, which does not fit "we can take."
3. Option C: "We can take either morning flight or the one in afternoon." "Either" and "or" are paired correctly, but the articles are missing before "morning flight" and "afternoon." Both are specific, particular flights, so they need "the" in front of them.
4. Option D: "We can take either the morning flight or the one in the afternoon." "Either" is correctly paired with "or," and both flights, "the morning flight" and "the one in the afternoon," carry the definite article needed for specific choices.

Option D is the only one that pairs "either" with "or" correctly and includes "the" before both specific flights.

So, the correct answer is We can take either the morning flight or the one in the afternoon.

Answer 3

All four sentences offer the same choice between two flights, so setting them side by side and finding where each one departs from the others is a fast way to check them. The differences come down to two points: which linking word follows "either" or "neither," and whether "the" appears before both flights. Testing each option against these two points shows which one gets both right.

1. Option A: "We can take either the morning flight nor the one in the afternoon." This option keeps "the" before both flights, matching the others that get the article right, but its point of difference is pairing "either" with "nor." "Either" always calls for its partner "or" to present a positive choice between two things; "nor" belongs with "neither" for ruling both out. Since the sentence is offering a choice, not denying both flights, "either...nor" is a mismatched pair.
2. Option B: "We can take neither the morning flight or the one in the afternoon." Here the articles are fine, but the difference is at the front: "neither" is paired with "or" instead of its required partner "nor." Beyond the pairing mismatch, "neither" itself changes the meaning to ruling out both flights, which contradicts "we can take," a sentence about permission to choose one.
3. Option C: "We can take either morning flight or the one in afternoon." This option correctly pairs "either" with "or," so its point of difference is elsewhere: "the" is missing before both "morning flight" and "afternoon." Since the sentence is about two specific, already understood flights, not flights in general, both nouns need the definite article.
4. Option D: "We can take either the morning flight or the one in the afternoon." This is the only version that gets both comparison points right at once: "either" is paired with its correct partner "or," and "the" appears before both specific flights.

Checking the two points where the options diverge, the correct pairing word and the definite article, only option D satisfies both.

So, the correct answer is We can take either the morning flight or the one in the afternoon.
