- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d)
Explanation
With neither…nor joining subjects of different number, the verb agrees with the subject nearest to it (the proximity rule). Here “the clerk” is singular and stands nearest the verb, so “has” is correct. Neither part (a) nor part (b) contains an error. Hence the answer is (D) No error.
