why E is wrong, "Neither (clause) nor (clause)" maintains parallel structure.
(E) neither is she fond of swimming nor does she like to surf.
we can not even introduce perfect parallelism between objects of clauses; that much variance is allowed in gmat.
swimming gerund noun
to surf infinitive noun

Hi sayantanc2k,
If you look at C ...neither X nor Y.....if we replace X by Y in choice c, it makes no sense. So, it for sure can't be correct.
But I think E is still best among these. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks
Absolutely - E is undoubtedly the correct answer.
A. neither fond of swimming nor does she like to surf. (adjective and clause cannot be parallel)
B. neither fond of swimming nor of surfing. (adjective and prepositional phrase cannot be parallel)
C. she is neither fond of swimming nor surfing (adjective and gerund cannot be parallel)
D. neither is she fond of swimming nor of surfing. (clause and prepositional phrase cannot be parallel)
E. neither is she fond of swimming nor does she like to surf.( 2 clauses are parallel)
