Question

Identify the correlating conjunction. During his fast, he neither ate food nor drank liquids. neither he neither ate neither...nor his...he

Answer 1

Neither and nor

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlative conjunction is a type of conjunction that comes in pairs but that are not placed next to each other, and whose function is to join sentence elements that are equally important, such as Neither and nor in the sentence which connects the phrase “ate food” and “drank liquids.” Other examples of correlative conjunctions are both/and, not only/but also, as/as, as many/as, such/that, rather/than and whether/or.

Answer 2

neither...nor

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlating conjunctions introduce two or more things of equal value (or lack thereof). In the sentence above, we can see that the protagonist, the subject didn't perform either of the two actions - he didn't eat food or drink liquids. Therefore, the two actions hold the same value and thus the negative correlating conjunctions neither and nor have to be used here.
