Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bracketed segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution required'.
(This bridge neither crossed the Thames, and neither gave) access to a now-lost island in the river.
Option 1: This bridge either crossed the Thames, and or gave
Option 2: This bridge neither crossed the Thames, nor gave
Option 3: This bridge either crossed the Thames, nor gave
Option 4: No substitution required
Correct Answer: This bridge neither crossed the Thames, nor gave
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation : The original sentence uses "neither" but does not pair it correctly with "and neither". The correct conjunction to use after "neither" is "nor" to maintain parallelism and convey the idea that the bridge did not cross the Thames and did not give access to a now-lost island.
