**(2.3)** Can you speak the Spanish?

Accepted Answer

**(2.1)** No error. With 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the nearer subject ('his manager'), which is singular, so 'has been' is correct.

**(2.2)** Error: 'were'. Correction: Each of the students **was** given an opportunity to go for training. ('Each of' takes a singular verb.)

**(2.3)** Error: 'the Spanish'. Correction: Can you speak **Spanish**? (No article is used before the name of a language when it is the object of 'speak'.)

**(2.4)** Error: 'looking at'. Correction: The police are **looking into** the case. ('Look into' means to investigate.)

**(2.5)** Error: 'laid'. Correction: The cat **lay** on the sofa all day. ('Lay' is the past tense of the intransitive verb 'lie'; 'laid' needs an object.)

**(2.6)** Error: 'in the weather'. Correction: I feel **under the weather** and don't want to go out. ('Under the weather' means slightly unwell.)

**(2.7)** Error: 'sheeps'. Correction: The shepherd took his **sheep** to the field. ('Sheep' has the same singular and plural form.)

**(2.8)** Error: 'Despite of'. Correction: **Despite** the challenges, the project was completed on time. (Use 'despite' alone, or 'in spite of'.)

**(2.9)** Error: 'has been'. Correction: The consequences of the economic downturn **have** been felt across various industries. (The subject 'consequences' is plural.)
