Hi there^^ I really appreciate your effort in doing your homework. I know you tried to answer all of them correctly. So, for your improvement, here are my tips about the proper usage of either and neither. Either is always paired with or, and neither is always paired with nor. Either is used when you are making a comparison between two ideas, and only one of the ideas will come to pass. Neither indicates that the two ideas are linked together. It\'s kind of like a negative conjunction. I hope that this will really help. You can try to analyze my corrections for you below. Take care and have a nice day ahead^^ ~Teacher Jeny 1. \'Can you come on Monday or Tuesday?\' \'I\'m afraid _a__-day is possible.\'a) eitherb) neither>>neither2. __c__my daughters is married.a) neither ofb) neitherc) either could be used here>>Neither of3. \'I can\'t dance\'.__b___ can I.\'a) neitherb) eitherc) either could be used here>>Neither4.
