Option 1 : B

The error lies in part B of the sentence. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

The error lies in part B of the sentence because, when two nouns are joined by ‘neither …. nor’, ‘not only …. but also’, ‘either ….. or’, the verb agrees with its adjacent noun. In the given sentence the adjacent noun is “her parents” which is plural, so the verb should also be kept as plural. Hence, ‘was’ in part B should be replaced by ‘were’.

Thus, the correct sentence is-

Neither Ruchi nor her parents were ready to accept their mistake.
