Complete the harsh culinary judge's critique of a disastrous cooking show finale.
"You were provided with two identical convection ovens, yet _________________________ them was even turned on during the challenge! As a result, _________________________ the expensive ingredients you used are completely raw. Frankly, _________________________ your bizarre excuses will save this dish from elimination today."
The correct answers are Neither of, Most of, and None of.
Neither of: When a quantifier is followed by a pronoun (them), we must use of. Since there are exactly two ovens, neither of is the correct negative choice.
Most of: When a noun is modified by a specific determiner (like the, my, this), the quantifier must be followed by of. We cannot say "most the ingredients"; it must be "most of the ingredients".
None of: Similar to the previous rule, excuses is modified by the possessive determiner your. We cannot say "no your excuses" or "none your excuses". The correct structure is none of + determiner + noun.
