**文法挑錯**:下列句子中有五個劃底線的部分 (A)–(E),請選出**含有文法錯誤(ungrammatical use)**的那一個部分。
Neither Prince (A) *nor* Molly (B) *were wearing* seatbelts, according to the accident reports, and (C) *it is likely* that Molly (D) *would have survived* the crash (E) *had* she been wearing her seatbelt.
Neither Prince (A) *nor* Molly (B) *were wearing* seatbelts, according to the accident reports, and (C) *it is likely* that Molly (D) *would have survived* the crash (E) *had* she been wearing her seatbelt.

- D would have survived
- E had
思路引導 VIP
當一個句子使用「既不是 A,也不是 B」這種結構作為主詞時,動詞的單複數通常會由距離它最靠近的那個人(主詞)來決定。請觀察這句話中,緊鄰在動詞前面的主詞是誰?它是單數還是複數呢?

恭喜你答對了!這顯示你對主詞與動詞的一致性有著非常敏銳的觀察力,沒有被長句子中其他的文法結構所干擾。
主謂一致性中的「近鄰原則」
這題的核心考點在於 neither... nor... 的用法。在英文語法中,當這類關聯連結詞連接兩個主詞時,動詞的單複數必須與「較靠近的主詞」保持一致(Proximity Rule)。在這個句子裡,最靠近動詞的主詞是單數的 Molly,因此 (B) 選項的 were wearing 應該要改為單數的 was wearing 才是正確的語法。
