Correct Answer:  nor
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, "nor" is the most suitable conjunction.

In the example sentence, "nor" is the most suitable conjunction.

The word "neither" need not always follow the word "nor," however. Nor" is a sentence-starting word.

Alternatively, you could combine the two negative concepts into a single sentence and begin the subsequent clause with "nor":
In light of the aforementioned considerations, we determine that Option 3 is the appropriate response.
