Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'nor does she smile'.
Key Points
- We need to substitute the underlined segment with one of the options :
- 'Neither,nor,so' follows the inversion in which the auxiliary verb comes before the subject than the main verb.
- Example: She does not want to be constricted by narrow feminism nor does she accept the cultural burden handed to her as a woman.
- Moreover, 'so + auxilliary+ subject' is added to a positive statement to express an argument, and 'neither/nor' + auxilliary+ subject' is added to a negative statement for the same purpose.
- In this case, 'nor does she smile' is the correct structure for the following statement.
- Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
