Answer:

2. The nearest railway station is ‘two miles’ from here.
3. The ‘burglar’ was taken to the nearest police station.
Explanation:
The words 'nearest' and 'next' are signifiers. They signify the location of a place. The word, 'next' signifies the order in which a place is situated. In the sentence: His house is – to mine refers to the order his house is with respect to mine. So next is the appropriate option.
The sentence: The – railway station is two miles from here, denotes the position of a place. 'nearest’ signifies the proximity of a place, hence it is appropriate.
In the sentence: The burglar was taken to the – police station, the sentence relates to the closeness of the police station. Hence 'nearest' is the appropriate word.
