Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The correct option to complete the sentence is: (1) neither of us had a key.
The correct word in this context is "neither" because it indicates that both Mohit and the speaker were without a key. "Neither" is used when you want to express a negative condition for two or more people or things. In this sentence, it implies that not a single one of them had a key to get into the house.
The other options do not convey the intended meaning:
1. "Any" would suggest that there is a possibility that either of them had a key, which is not what the sentence is saying.
2. "None" would indicate that there is no one with a key, but the sentence is specifically referring to both individuals.
3. "Either" would imply that one of them had a key, but not both, which contradicts the sentence's meaning.
