问题 Government statistics on the size of foreign investment in real estate are inconclusive because neither federal nor state laws require disclosure of foreign ownership, and the Commerce Department, in its public tallies, does not categorize the owners.
选项 A、are inconclusive because neither federal nor state laws require
B、are inconclusive because neither the federal nor state laws requires
C、are inconclusive because neither federal laws or state laws require
D、is inconclusive because neither the federal or state laws requires
E、is inconclusive because neither federal laws nor state laws require
答案 A
解析 Idiom; Agreement
The sentence uses the correct idiomatic form neither X nor Y. Also, statistics is plural, so are is correct; similarly, laws is plural so require is correct.
A Correct. The sentence uses the correct idiomatic form neither X nor Y; are and require correctly match their subjects in number, statistics and laws, respectively.
B The sentence uses the idiomatic form neither X nor Y, but lacks parallelism in that it matches the federal and state; it should either match, federal with, state or the federal with the state. Also, because laws is plural, the verb should be require, not requires.
C The sentence uses the unidiomatic form neither X or Y.
D The sentence uses the unidiomatic form neither X or Y; it also lacks parallelism in that it matches the federal and state; it should either match, federal with state or the federal with the state. Also, because statistics is plural, the verb should be are, not is, and because laws is plural, the verb should be require, not requires.
E Because statistics is plural, the verb should be are, not is.
The correct answer is A.
