"without A or B" or "without A nor B"?

[KathyL227]

Hi Ron/Stacey,

A question about an idiomatic expression of "without"

Sentence 1: I choose to drive automobiles and sleep in tents, so I can enjoy nature close and tour at my own pace, without the restrictions of passenger trains or the formalities and expenses.

Sentence 2: I choose to drive automobiles and sleep in tents, so I can enjoy nature close and tour at my own pace, without the restrictions of passenger trains nor the formalities and expenses.

Sentence 3: I choose to drive automobiles and sleep in tents, so I can enjoy nature close and tour at my own pace, with none of the restrictions of passenger trains nor the formalities and expenses.

Could you help me with the above 3 sentences. If only sentence 1 is correct , is it because it is idiomatic to say "without A or B" ?

Thank you in advance.

Kathy

these examples are clearly taken from a GMAT practice problem (i.e., it's obvious that you didn't make them up yourself).

therefore -- as per the forum rules, you need to provide a full transcription of the original problem that inspired this question.
• take care to post in the correct folder.
• transcribe the full text of the problem, exactly as originally provided, with all answer choices
• indicate which answer option is officially correct
• if the source is not an MPrep source or the GMAT Prep freeware, then provide a citation of the original source of the problem (ORIGINAL authorship—not another forum or other secondhand source)


thank you.
