Correct Answer: nor


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The sentence is structured as a negative correlative conjunction. The phrase n either she nor I is a parallel construction indicating that both "she" and "I" did not expect Reema's arrival. In this context, " nor " is the correct conjunction to use with neither when expressing a negative correlation.

So, the complete sentence would be: "Neither she nor I have expected Reema’s arrival."
