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

No one should used instead of none in the (B) statement.

It should be 'neither nor' instead of 'either or' since 'none' is negative.

One is not used for negetive.

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.

Either comes with or and neither with nor.

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.

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