The function of the bolded coordinating conjunction "nor" in the sentence "She did not understand the question, nor did she know the answer" is **to convey negation or cancel out things**. It is used to connect two negative clauses, indicating that both the lack of understanding of the question and the lack of knowledge of the answer are true.
