Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution
The correct answer is 'nor'.
Explanation:
and: Joins two positive ideas taken together, so it does not fit with the negative marker 'neither'.
nor: Used to link the second of two or more negative alternatives and correctly pairs with 'neither' to form the neither...nor construction.
although: Introduces a concession (even though) and cannot create the negative parallelism needed here.
yet: Shows contrast but does not pair with 'neither' to join two negative alternatives.
Complete sentence: Love can neither be bought nor sold.
