In which sentence are the correlative conjunctions used correctly? a. either fred nor john knew about the accident. b. mary enjoyed neither roller skating or ice skating. c. the top award was given to neither steve or jim. d. neither beauty nor popularity was considered in the contest.

The answer is letter D. Neither beauty nor popularity was considered in the contest.

Explanation:

Correlative conjunctions are used in pairs:

Their function is to correlate words or phrases that have the same importance in a sentence.

Since the correct pairing is "neither ... nor", the only correct option is letter D. "Neither ... nor" gives a negative meaning to both the words or phrases they accompany. In the sentence we are studying here, beauty was not considered in the contest. Popularity was also not considered in the contest.
