Answer Details

The correct answer is "his nor yours." "Neither" is used to indicate that both options are not applicable. In this sentence, the speaker is stating that the book does not belong to either the person being addressed or the speaker. Option A, "his or yours," implies that the book could belong to either the person being addressed or the speaker. Option B, "his not yours," implies that the book belongs to the person being addressed, but not the speaker. Option D, "his own nor yours," implies that the book belongs to someone else entirely. Option C, "his nor yours," correctly indicates that the book does not belong to either the person being addressed or the speaker.
