Answer 1

The correct answer is 'nor does she smile'.

Key Points

We need to substitute the underlined segment with one of the options :
'Neither,nor,so' follows the inversion in which the auxiliary verb comes before the subject than the main verb.
- Example: She does not want to be constricted by narrow feminism nor does she accept the cultural burden handed to her as a woman.
Moreover, 'so + auxilliary+ subject' is added to a positive statement to express an argument, and 'neither/nor' + auxilliary+ subject' is added to a negative statement for the same purpose.
In this case, 'nor does she smile' is the correct structure for the following statement.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
