Soluções para a tarefa
A questão está sem solução por causa de uma vírgula que está na letra A, o either nessa frase faz sentido de também, tirando a vírgula a letra A é a mais adequada.
A) I think you are mistaken, sir her maiden name is not Atkins. And I am absolutely sure it is not Perkins either.
B) I think you are mistake, sir Her maiden name is not Altkins. And I am absolutely sure it is not Perkins, neither.
Essa letra B também está incorreta, por dois motivo o mistake não está no particípio, e além disso o netheir dá um sentido de uma dupla negativa.
C) I think you are mistaken, sir. Her maiden name is not either Atkins or Perkins, I am absolutely sure of that.
A letra C está incorreta, pois o either or tem que ficar com uma das opções....
Tem dois nomes ali, Atkins/ Perkins
Com uso do either teria que ser um desses nomes... Either também tem sentido positivo.
D) I think you are mistake, sir. Her maiden is neither Atkins or Perkins. I am absolutely sure of that.
Netheir é usado com a palavra Nor....
O mistake tem que está no particípio mistaken.
Sou sincero, fiquei com dúvida, caso tenha a resposta certa comenta ai...
either X or y for positive choices (one of two)
neither X nor y for negative choices (both are wrong).
In your case the sequence should be:
Her maiden name is neither Atkins nor Perkins
You can also use 'neither' and 'either' to refer back to earlier choices:
I think her name was Atkins or Perkins, but if I were to decide, I must say neither sounds incorrect.
I think her name was Atkins or Perkins, but if I were to decide, I must say both sound likely.
Neither did she.
I won´t go to the party.
He won’t either.
