The correct answer is Option (4) → Meera has not packed her bag for the school trip, and neither has her brother.

Short additions with “neither”:

• The given sentence says “neither her brother has”. This is wrong.
• When a short addition starts with “neither”, the helping verb comes before the subject: neither has her brother.
• The helping verb matches the first part. “Has not packed” has “has”, so the addition also takes “has”.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: Meera has not packed her bag for the school trip, and neither has not her brother. — Incorrect. The option says “neither has not”. “Neither” already has the idea of “not”, so a second “not” is wrong.

Option 2: Meera has not packed her bag for the school trip, and so has her brother. — Incorrect. “So has” follows a positive first part. The first part here is negative (“has not packed”), so it needs “neither”.

Option 3: Meera has not packed her bag for the school trip, and neither does her brother. — Incorrect. The first part uses “has”. The short addition must use the same helping verb, so “does” is wrong.
