Explanation:

- The sentence in question is: "They neither take a (2)______ of one's physical and spiritual development (3)______ even of one's intelligence."

- When using "neither" in a sentence, it is often followed by "nor" to indicate two negative conditions.

- Option 1: "nor" is the correct term that pairs with "neither" to show that the examinations do not evaluate both physical and spiritual development, and also intelligence.

- Option 2: "not" is used to indicate negation, but it doesn't pair with "neither" in this context.

- Option 3: "or" is used to suggest alternatives or options, but it does not fit with "neither."

- Option 4: "and" joins ideas and implies addition, which doesn't work with "neither."

The correct option to fill in blank No. 3 is: Option 1: nor
