1."So did I."(c)
'Went' is past simple. The auxiliary for past simple is 'did': 'So did I.' Don't use 'was' — 'went' is an action verb, not 'be'.
2."Neither can"(b)
'Can't' is a negative modal verb. We match the modal: 'Neither can her husband.' Use the same modal — don't switch to 'does' or change tense to 'could'.
3."Neither have I."(d)
'I've never been' uses present perfect (have + past participle). We match with 'Neither have I.' — 'never' makes it negative, so we use 'neither'.
4."Neither did"(a)
'Didn't enjoy' is negative past simple. We match with 'Neither did our friends.' — 'did' is the auxiliary for past simple.
5."So was I."(d)
'Was born' uses 'was' (past tense of 'be'). We respond with 'So was I.' — matching the past tense auxiliary 'was'.
