Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
A is correct: with 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the nearer subject, so 'was' suits 'the monitor'. C is correct: 'nevertheless' properly shows contrast between his being busy and attending to the speaker. B wrongly uses 'after' where 'because/as' is needed, and D wrongly pairs 'either' with 'nor' instead of 'or'. So A and C only.
