Correct Answer: but neither of


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : But neither of is the appropriate phrase to convey that neither of the mentioned individuals (Bunty or Vinay) was close to the speaker. "Neither of" is followed by the singular verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He looked around for Bunty or Vinay, but neither of them was anywhere near him.
