From the following options, select the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

Question

Option 1: Seldom do modern films capture such emotional complexity.

Option 2: Neither the ministers nor the prime minister were willing to comment.

Option 3: If only he had reconsidered his decision before resigning.

Option 4: Many a scholar has attempted to interpret the manuscript differently.

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

With 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the nearer subject, here the singular 'prime minister', so it should be 'was willing', not 'were'. The inversion after 'Seldom', the 'If only' clause, and 'Many a scholar has' are all correct.
