Explanation:

1. Combining sentences with correlative conjunctions

The correlative conjunction “neither...nor” is used to connect two negative statements. In this case, both Carlotta and Lily cannot go to the game.

• Prepositions: “about” and “during”
• Prepositional phrases: “about women” and “during the Civil War”
