Yes, the sequence of the words matters. "Either X or Y" is an idiom. Whatever follows "either" (represented by X) must be parallel to whatever follows "or" (represented by Y).
So if I say "either accompanied by cheetos or..." I have to say "or accompanied by fritos." X = accompanied by cheetos, Y = accompanied by fritos If I say "accompanied either by cheetos or..." now I just have to say "or by fritos." X = by cheetos, Y = by fritos B does not repeat the second "by" and D does not repeat the "accompanied." |
