Question

complete the sentence.
bernie knew that he had heard the word auspicious before and vaguely understood the meaning, but he could neither think of a synonym nor
use the word in a sentence
could he use the word in a
sentence

Explanation:

When using the "neither...nor..." structure, if "neither" is followed by an inverted verb - subject structure (in this case, "neither think of a synonym"), then "nor" should also be followed by an inverted verb - subject structure. "Could he use the word in a sentence" is the correct inverted form. "Use the word in a sentence" is a non - inverted form and does not match the structure after "neither".

Answer:

could he use the word in a sentence
