Unlike the Shilites, who constitute the other major branch of Islam, the Sunnites do not await the Mahdi as a messenger from God, nor do they endow him with divine qualities or immunity from failure in judgment.


A nor do they endow him
B but they do not endow him
C neither do they endow him
D and they neither endow him
E while endowing him neither


答案是A
neither 不可以替换nor么？ 隐约记得高中老师说neither nor 在此时是一样的。尽管其实很多所谓高中语法已经不能再用了。

The GMAT rule states:
1. Neither should ALWAYS be followed by nor.
2. But it is not necessary that nor be always preceded by neither. Therefore, the usage of not....nor..... is correct.

Similar rule is also applicable for not only...but also.... construction. But aslo alone in the later part of a clause is OK.

显然不能的，GMAT有自己的专门语法。B项，but这里没有转折意味，错！GMAT中neither往往和nor连用，单独用就用nor，记住它的规律就行，不要问为什么。
