A, C & E

Answer 2

Step 1: Analyze each sentence for grammatical correctness.
- Sentence A: Correct. It uses the correct pronoun ”his” with ”Everybody.” - Sentence B: Incorrect. ”Have” should be replaced by ”has” to agree with the singular subject ”Nobody.” - Sentence C: Correct. ”Either” is singular, so the verb ”is” is correct. - Sentence D: Incorrect. ”Is” should be replaced by ”are” as ”mice” is plural. - Sentence E: Correct. The phrase ”It is I” is grammatically correct in formal English. - Sentence F: Incorrect. ”He and I” is not the correct objective form; it should be ”him and me.”
Step 2: Evaluate the combinations.
- Option 1 (B, D & F): Sentences B, D, and F are incorrect.
- Option 2 (B, C & D): Sentence B and D are incorrect.
- Option 3 (A, C & E): Sentences A, C, and E are correct.
- Option 4 (A, E & F): Sentence F is incorrect.
- Option 5 (C, D & F): Sentences D and F are incorrect.
