Help the indecisive couple figure out their dessert order by choosing the correct word for each gap in their conversation.

"We can order either the chocolate cake or the fruit tart, but we can't afford two desserts."

"Actually, I think neither of those sounds good to me right now; I'm craving ice cream instead."

"Well, my sister and I had the ice cream last time, and unfortunately both of us ended up with a terrible brain freeze!"

"We can order either the chocolate cake or the fruit tart, but we can't afford two desserts."

We use either with "or" to talk about a choice between two options.

"Actually, I think neither of those sounds good to me right now; I'm craving ice cream instead."

We use neither to mean "not the first one and not the second one." Since the speaker wants something completely different (ice cream), they want zero of the two original options.

"Well, my sister and I had the ice cream last time, and unfortunately both of us ended up with a terrible brain freeze!"

We use both to refer to two out of two people or things. It means "the first one and the second one."
