None of two girls / who were present / appeared to be inclined / to listen to sane advice.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
In this sentence, the phrase "None of two girls" is incorrect. It should be "Neither of the two girls". "None" is used to refer to no one or not any, while "neither" is used to refer to not one nor the other of two people or things. Additionally, "neither" should be followed by "of" and the plural form "the two girls" is more appropriate in this context.
So, the correct structure should be:
Neither of the two girls who were present appeared to be inclined to listen to sane advice.
