not only the land but also

Answer 1

Neither the land nor the funds ⭐️

Answer 2

The correct option is C) neither the land nor.

• Let us analyze the given sentence as well as the options.
• In the first sentence, the speaker says that it is impossible to build a new wing for the hotel.
• In the second sentence, the speaker justifies himself/herself by explaining why the construction is impossible.
• If we use the first option, it will imply that the speaker will be left with either the land or the fund. But in this case, the construction is not impossible. So we discard the first option.
• If we use the second option, it will imply that the speaker will be left with both the land and the fund. But in this case, the construction is very much possible. So we discard the second option.
• If we use the third option, it will imply that the speaker will be left with neither the land nor the fund. Hence, in this case, construction is impossible. So the third option is correct.
• If we use the fourth option, it will imply that the speaker will be left not only with the land but also the fund. But in this case, the construction is very much promising. So we discard the fourth option.
• Hence the correct answer is: Building a new wing for the hotel is impossible. We have neither the land nor the funds.
