OG 中说,alternatively, the two effects, stated in parallel ways, could simply be linked by "and also",意思是 not only...but also和and also是等价的嘛,但是and also 不是and 与also 重复吗?? 请指教~~
The correlative pair not only...but also can be used to describe the two effects:not only helps to contro1...but also helps to limit.These effects should be grammatically and logically parallel.It is incorrect to use but also by itself.A1tematively, the two effects,stated in parallel ways,could simply be finked by and also.
ABut also must be used as part of the correlative pair not only…but also.
BHelps the control of is awkward and is not parallel to the effect to limit.
CCorrect.This sentence uses the not only...but also construction correctly and expresses the two effects in parallel ways.
DAlso is required in the not only…but also construction;not only should precede helps.
EThe not only…but also construction requires the phrase but also.rather than and also.

我不是太明白顶楼你说的。not only……but also……的确跟and also相等,从语法上讲,如果B前半截句子改成 helps to control the employer's costs,那么B也是正确的,即使这样,从gmat的sc考试标准来讲,c也比改变了的b好,因为not only……but also是gmat喜欢的平行结构idiom。

可能是我没表达清楚,不好意思 不是经常在and 与 and also两个选项之间选嘛(具体题一下子想不起),and also OG说的就是and 和 also 是属于重复,只用and 就可以了。那么这里为什么又可以用and also
