1) for
2) and
3) nor
4) or

Answer 1

The correct conjunction to use with 'neither' in the sentence is 'nor'. 'Nor' is used to join two negative alternatives, indicating that both subjects are included in the statement. option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to fill in the blank is "nor", which, when paired with "neither", is used to connect two negative possibilities. This conjunction indicates that the condition applies to both subjects (our company and the rival company). The correct sentence reads: "Neither our company nor the rival company will attend the trade show."
