Hi,

Is it true that SC questions on GMAT will ONLY use Either/Neither in context of idiomatic expressions "Either...or/Neither..or" and never as a standalone construction of Either and Neither?

For example: "Either of two answer choices are correct?" -- such a construction would not be tested on GMAT SC?

Context: Some test prep companies advocate the above.

Thanks in advance.

"Either" can be used as a determiner or a pronoun too, not just a conjunction.

You can take either cup.
Either will work.
etc.

Hence, it is not necessary that 'either' will have 'or.'
GMAC doesn't give us a set of rules on what they will and will not test. So whatever is acceptable currently in formal English will be acceptable on GMAT though the question of acceptability doesn't always have a clear answer. The point is to look for the best possible option.
