22. **Neither the manager nor the employees is available right now.**

 ### **Question:**  

**Neither the manager nor the employees is available right now.**


- **A. Neither the manager nor the employees are available right now.**  

- **B. Neither the manager nor the employees is available right now.**  

- **C. Neither the manager nor employees are available right now.**  

- **D. No error**


---


### **Correct Answer:**  

**A. Neither the manager nor the employees are available right now.**


---


### **Explanation (English):**  

When using "neither... nor," the verb agrees with the noun closest to it. In this case, "employees" (plural) is closest to the verb, so the correct verb form is "are." Therefore, **Option A** is the correct choice. 


- **Option A** is correct: "employees" is plural, so the verb "are" is required.  

- **Option B** is incorrect: Although "manager" is singular, the verb must agree with "employees" (plural), so "is" is wrong.  

- **Option C** is acceptable but grammatically slightly informal since "the" before "employees" is omitted.  

- **Option D** is incorrect: The original sentence uses the wrong verb form ("is").

### **Explanation (Hindi):**  

जब "neither... nor" का उपयोग किया जाता है, तो क्रिया उस संज्ञा के साथ सहमति करती है जो उसके सबसे करीब होती है। इस वाक्य में, "employees" (बहुवचन) क्रिया के सबसे करीब है, इसलिए सही क्रिया रूप "are" होना चाहिए। इसलिए, **विकल्प A** सही है।


- **विकल्प A** सही है: "employees" बहुवचन है, इसलिए "are" क्रिया का उपयोग किया जाना चाहिए।  

- **विकल्प B** गलत है: यद्यपि "manager" एकवचन है, लेकिन क्रिया "employees" (बहुवचन) के साथ सहमत होनी चाहिए, इसलिए "is" गलत है।  

- **विकल्प C** व्याकरणिक रूप से ठीक है लेकिन थोड़ा अनौपचारिक है क्योंकि "employees" से पहले "the" हटा दिया गया है।  

- **विकल्प D** गलत है: मूल वाक्य में "is" गलत क्रिया रूप का उपयोग किया गया है।

**Example:**

- **Correct:** *Neither the manager nor the employees are available right now.*  

- **सही:** *न तो प्रबंधक और न ही कर्मचारी अभी उपलब्ध हैं।*
