Respuesta :

The answer is C: them.

The word neither implies that there are two or more persons that didn´t show up on time. The answer them is the only option available that fits grammatically since it is the only third person pronoun that can refer to the two or more musicians. (It is here claimed that neither can refer to two persons —the most common case— or more because, as the Merriam-Webster dictionary states, neither has been used to reference also more than two persons for several centuries).

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Them.

Explanation:

Neither musician arrived on time, so we had to leave them behind. This would be the correct answer due to the first word neither, which indicates the presence of more than one person. If this word was exchanged or absent, the meaning of the sentence would be different, changing at the same time the pronoun that could be used.
