EnglishCorrelating Sentences
- Abut neither of them could help me
- Bhowever none of them could show me the way
- Cyet they had doubts about the station
- Dnevertheless they couldn't guide me
Explanation
With exactly two people, 'neither' is the correct word — 'none' is used for three or more. 'But neither of them could help me' continues the sentence with the right pronoun and a natural contrast. Option B's 'however none of them' is unidiomatic for two people. C changes the meaning (doubts about the station, not the way), and D's 'nevertheless' wrongly implies a contrast with an expectation that was never set up.
