B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. In this sentence, a noun (an interest) is compared to a verb (to be adept). The sentence can be corrected by shifting one of the forms to match the other. Thus, 'to be adept' should be converted to 'an adeptness in'. Thus, the correct sentence would be: Neither an interest in music nor an adeptness in French language is going to get you an American visa.
