Hi, there

Could you help me?

1) Could you drop "that" in this sentence?

"The larger the business, the more titles THAT are present, such as CEO, COO and executive directors."
I prefer this version with a few changes. The "are present": makes the sentence a bit awkward.
"The larger the business, the more titles are present..".there are, including CEO, COO, and executive directors (drop the "s")

2) Do you say "Both countries denied me citizenship, now I can be neither Lebanese nor Syrian. With  the change I added, I like the first one better...but depending on the context, the second one can/could work. As in, " He rejected my request?? I'm shocked. Now I can't be Lebanese OR Syrian!!! Now what do I do!?"

or "Now I can't be Lebanese or Syrian"?




Thank you!!

i think you can drop the That. it makes more sense then. and for the second one, i think nor is better. also, i would correct: denied my citizenship. this sounds better to me.
