Answer:

(2)

The correct sentence will be:

None of the diplomats at the conference were either able to comprehend or solve the problem

Explanation:

  • There are two errors in option (2).
  1. The plural form of 'was' which is 'were' will be used.
  2. Second the use of 'either' has not been done in correct place.
  • When 'either' is used with 'or' it plays the role of conjunction.
  • A conjunction is the part of speech which helps in joining words, phrases and sentences.
  • As a conjunction 'either' is paired with 'or'.
  • The use of 'either' represent the choice made among two alternatives.
  • In the given sentence, the use of 'either, or' represent the choice between comprehending and solving the issue.
  • Also, 'either' is used before the verb if the actions are different.
