Explanation

"Neither" is a pronoun meaning "not either one" - it refers back to the two girls mentioned without needing to repeat their names. As a pronoun, it can stand alone as the object of the preposition "of." Nouns name specific entities, verbs show action, adverbs modify verbs, and adjectives describe nouns.
