    Solution

    In the sentence, "Neither accusation is true," the word "neither" is a pronoun. A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun to avoid repetition. In this sentence, "neither" is replacing the two accusatory statements that were made, hence it is functioning as a pronoun. The word "neither" is used to refer to two things or people and indicates that both are not true or both do not apply. It is commonly used in negative sentences to mean "not either."
