　　標題範例：Writing > Improving Sentences

　　Part or all of the following sentence is underlined; beneath the sentence are five ways of phrasing the underlined material. Select the option that produces the best sentence. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select choice A.

　　Since William the Conqueror in 1066, every British sovereign has been crowned in Westminster Abbey except Edward V and Edward VIII, neither of them were crowned.

　　(A) neither of them were

　　(B) neither were

　　(C) neither of whom was

　　(D) with neither being

　　(E) with neither who had been

　　謎底：C

　　【剖析】Choice (C) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by replacing “them” with “whom” and by using an appropriate verb form, the singular “was,” to agree with the singular “neither.”
