Neither indicates that the two ideas are linked together. It's kind of like a negative conjunction. But if you use neither, then make sure your sentence does not have any other negatives preceding it. If you prefer to use a negative, then you want to use either.

The answer is D, @Aravind.
Nor cannot be used because they could not understand which of the situation is confusing him. If it is 'neither and nor', none of the situations is confusing him.

Consider the statement C in the options " either the principles he stood for nor the benefits he promised. ".
The nor could be used instead of or is what I feel correction to take place.

Option A is absolutely right, and in option be none is nothing but'no one', so even that is right and in option c-either follows or, hence answer is D.

The answer is correct. None is for sentence improvement, nor can't be used with either, are can't be used with candidate even if its a group.

I think C is the answer because (either the principles he stood for or the benefits he promised) its sound weird also.

I agree with the above explanation. Since the sentence is in past tense, understood will come instead of understand.

I think ans is A because the candidate is coming here for all the candidates who listen him so "were" will come.

I feel there are 2 mistakes in B and C. It should be "none" in B and "either" should be eliminated in C.

I think no one should be used instead of none. So I (B) is the answer. (D) is also correct .
