Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled as (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter, i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
(a) Either he, (b) or I, (c) am mistaken. (d) No error

- AEither he,
- Bor I,
- Cam mistaken.
- DNo error
Explanation
With 'either... or', the verb agrees with the nearer subject — 'I', which takes 'am'. 'Either he, or I, am mistaken' is therefore correct, and the commas are acceptable parenthetical punctuation. Hence (D) — no error.
