Answer:

E. Neither go to the movies or play miniature golf

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker of the sentence is saying that someone should not go to the movies and also should not play mini golf. Thus, we can conclude that the sentence that is written correctly is the letter E. This is because it is the only sentence that is grammatically correct, coherent, cohesive and can pass exactly the message that the speaker of the phrase was speaking.
