C.We neither had the money for a taxi nor knew exactly where we were.
D.We had neither the money for a taxi nor were we exactly sure where we were.

Answer 3

Kind of difficult do describe parallel structure without giving away the answer.

Answer 4

But I'll try. So basically, the essential phrase of interest is "neither...nor" since it occurs in each statement. What you want to do is pay attention to the verbs. If a verb comes immediately after neither, a verb of the same tense should come immediately after nor as well. That's the best I can describe.
