Use "nor" with other negatives. Even though "nor" is almost always used after "neither, " you can use it with other negative expressions and still form something grammatically correct.
Example: "The final guest is not here, nor should we wait for her before we start the festivities.
Example: "He has never gone fishing, nor does he have any desire to learn. ".
Example: "The final guest is not here, nor should we wait for her before we start the festivities.

Has represents present tense. Therefore had taken must come. Which indicates he had not taken strong measures in his futures.

It is because after has, no past participle is there so had taken is correct.
Nor is also chosen for never and is used.
Nor is also chosen for never and is used.

Has is talking about past and will telling about future so option (a) is correct. Had is used for past tense.

I think it is because of 'ever'. The construction would be [never + verb + obj, nor + sub + I + ever.

No correction required, because if there is "never" in a sentence then 2nd form is not used.
