In 1926, in her second attempt to swim across the English Channel,Gertrude Ederle not only crossed the Channel against currents thatforced her to swim thirty-five miles instead of the minimal twenty-one,but she set a record for speed as well, by swimming the distance inalmost two hours faster than anyone had yet done.
A.but she set a record for speed as well, by swimming the distance in almost two hours faster than anyone had yet done.
B.but also set a record for speed, swimming the distance almosttwo hours faster than anyone had yet done.
C.but also swam the distance in almost two hours faster thananyone had yet done, and setting a record for speed
D.but also setting a record for speed by swimming the distance inalmost two hours faster than anyone had yet done.
E.but, swimming the distance almost two hours faster than anyonehad yet done, she also set a record for speed.
not only, but also的对比要对称。 前面,Gertrude Ederle not only crossed the Channel, not only后面跟的是动词corssed,所以,but also后面也要跟动词以保证平行。不能加but also she what what,这样就不平行了。这样可以排除A D E 对于C, and setting 跟前面的swam不平行,而且逻辑意义上讲也不对。 对于B,set跟前面的crossed平行,swimming做同位语对前面的record for speed进行解释。
