答案与解析:A 句意:——你撞上了李先生！怎么搞的？——哎,我们俩当时都没有看路,又同时到达了那个拐角。根据问句中的you和Mr. Li可知,代词指的是两者且表示否定意义,故用neither。either“(两者中)任何一个”;both“(两者)都”;none“(三者或三者以上)没有一个”。
2.The thieves fled the town separately, ________ carrying a bag. A.all B.each C.every D.both

10.No equipment provided by the company is so advanced as ________ listed in the product introduction.
A.what B.one C.that D.such

11.—Can you come on Saturday or Sunday? —I'm afraid ________ is possible. A.none B.either C.some D.neither

marriage is termed as arranged when it is arranged by people other than those getting married. The other people involved in the arrangement of the marriage can be parents, matchmaking agents, matrimonial (婚姻的) sites or a trusted third party. In fact the task of matchmaking is carried out quite a number of times by priests, religious leaders, trusted relatives, friends, etc..
In ancient times,a bride and a groom were neither asked for their permission, nor were they informed about the partner. However, with time going by,the society has also had a significant change. Nowadays, in arranged marriages both the girl and the boy are asked for their permission. The process begins with practices like matching the horoscope (占星术) of the couple for checking the agreement, the background of the families and their classes. After all the above things are ensured, a suitable date for the commencement of the marriage is decided. Before a marriage, an engagement ceremony is held to ensure that the accord between the two families is finalized. In modern society, the boy and the girl are allowed to hold restricted meetings and conversations before a marriage. This makes it easy for both of them to open up and also improves their relationship and understanding.
The marriage ceremony is highly formal in case of an arranged marriage, with the groom's family playing to the gallery. The marriage is conducted in strict accordance with the Vedic ceremony. However, like everything,arranged marriages have both pros and cons.
On the one hand, they have better success rate as there are few expectations and self-related issues. On the other hand, the biggest threat that arranged marriages face is that if either the boy or the girl is not ready for the marriage, it can lead to serious trouble. This may even cause hate and emotional upset for both of them. Moreover, such a situation can even make a person annoyed at the idea of marriage itself. The main reason behind such a condition is the pressure from the family and parents.
