Explanation:

- The passage suggests that examinations do not accurately reflect the harmonious development of human personality.

- The focus is on what examinations fail to measure: physical, spiritual development, and intelligence.

- The blank (3) connects the lack of measurement of intelligence with the previous points.

- Option 1: "nor" implies a negative continuation, which is suitable for connecting similar kinds of negatives.

- Option 2: "not" implies a contradiction, which doesn't fit well here.

- Option 3: "and" suggests a simple addition, which doesn't align with the sentence structure.

- Option 4: "or" implies a choice between two alternatives, which doesn't fit the context.

Correct Answer: Option 1: nor
