Sorry, you're going to have to do some work yourself on this one before we can help you. What didn't you understand about this one? What did you try? Where did you get stuck? Have you ever actually seen any of these distinctions tested on the GMAT?

I don't remember I saw a GMAT question asking to choose between the choices I wrote but I did see "nor did ..." somewhere on a GMAT question and I was wondering the different options and if one could be wrong etc.

what i was asking in my post was for you to tell us what your opinions are of each of your sentences (and an analysis of each would be even better). then we can confirm whether your thinking was correct or help guide you to a correct solution! :)
