While 'neither A nor B' excludes two possibilities, the addition of 'but C' immediately provides the correct alternative, creating a rhetorical structure that refutes common misconceptions before defining the truth.
Bahasa Melayu: Kata hubung korelatif "neither... nor... but..." digunakan di sini untuk mewujudkan kontras yang tepat.

EN: The word 'ongoing' functions as an attributive adjective, emphasizing a process that is continuous and evolving. In C2 level English, it is often paired with nouns like 'practice', 'process', or 'negotiation' to denote something that requires constant maintenance rather than a one-time achievement.
Bahasa Melayu: "Ongoing" berfungsi sebagai kata adjektif atributif, menekankan proses yang berterusan dan berkembang. Dalam bahasa Inggeris tahap C2, ia sering digabungkan dengan kata nama seperti "practice" (amalan), "process" (proses), atau "negotiation" (rundingan), menunjukkan bahawa sesuatu memerlukan penyelenggaraan berterusan, bukan pencapaian sekali sahaja.

EN: The Subjunctive Mood with verbs of 'demand' or 'requirement'. When verbs like 'demand', 'insist', or 'require' are followed by a 'that' clause, the base form of the verb (bare infinitive) is used regardless of the subject, though 'should' is sometimes implied.
Bahasa Melayu: Penggunaan Mood Subjungtif dengan kata kerja 'permintaan' atau 'keperluan'.

EN: The verb 'integrate' is used here with the structure 'integrate A as B', which conceptualizes the inclusion of a challenging element (A) as a fundamental component (B) of a larger whole. In C2 level English, this suggests a sophisticated synthesis rather than mere addition.
Bahasa Melayu: Kata kerja "integrate" digunakan di sini dengan struktur "integrate A as B", yang mengkonseptualisasikan elemen yang mencabar (A) sebagai komponen penting yang tidak dapat dipisahkan daripada keseluruhan (B).
