  2. Neither of the books is available.
  3. The teacher as well as his students has arrived.

    AOnly (i)

    BOnly (ii)

    COnly (i) and (ii)

    DOnly (ii) and (iii)

    Answer:

    D. Only (ii) and (iii)

    Read Explanation:

    (i) Every man and every woman have rights. ❌
    The sentence is incorrect because when “every” is repeated before two singular nouns joined by and, the subject is treated as singular. Therefore, “has” should be used.

    ✔ Correct: Every man and every woman has rights.

    (ii) Neither of the books is available. ✅
    Neither is singular and takes a singular verb “is.”

    Neither of the books is available.

    (iii) The teacher as well as his students has arrived. ✅
    With “as well as,” the verb agrees with the main subject, “the teacher,” which is singular.

    The teacher as well as his students has arrived.
