Read the sentence. [1] Alejandro’s guidance counselor is helping him plan his schedule for next year. [2] She suggests that he take AP Chemistry and AP French to improve his chances of getting into college. [3] Neither he nor his parents think he’ll have time to do the work for both courses, and both is offered at the same time. [4] He plans to decide the week before classes start.Which sentence has an indefinite pronoun-verb agreement error?
Sentence 3 contains the error: “both” refers to the two courses, so it is plural and needs the plural verb “are.” The sentence should say that both courses “are offered” at the same time. The verb “think” correctly agrees with “parents,” the nearer subject in “neither he nor his parents.”
