plz help me out...

1: in pair of words, if one writes sentences of both the words but 1 right n ther wrong, will one get 1 mark for the right one or not...

2: in comprehension, did we use to write only the meaning of last question or some thing more as 8 words n 8 marks...

3: is it correct : neither of the 3 umbrellas will suit me.

thx

@DMG
Yes,u will get one mark because there are five pairs of words for ten marks.
Ur sentence --neither of the three umbrellas will suit me--doesnt seem correct.Neither is usually used for comparison between two things not three.correct seems---Anyone/no one of the 3 umbrellas will suit me.I forgot what i wrote in paper but it wasnt neither for sure.

@ DMG

I m agreed with Vanity unleashed. Neither use for comparison when you are refusing two things.

The correct sentence would be: None of the 3 umbrellas will suit me.

@athena
None/anyone/no one of the three umbrellas will suit me.
It is correct in all these three ways.
