This is because having consistent accounting standards allows investors and businesses to easily compare financial information across different countries, making it easier to make informed investment decisions. It also improves market efficiency by promoting transparency and reducing information asymmetry. Additionally, having a single set of standards reduces the cost of raising capital as companies can access a larger pool of investors and lenders.

    • He do not either

    • Neither he don't

    Correct Answer
    A. He do not either
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "he do not either" because it follows the correct grammatical structure for negation. In this sentence, "neither" is used to indicate that the speaker does not do drugs, and the same applies to the person being referred to as "he." The word "either" is used to indicate agreement with the previous negative statement. Therefore, "he do not either" is the correct form.
