By pressing a tiny amount of nitrogen between two diamonds to a pressure of 25 million pounds per square inch, scientists not only were able to transform the gas into a solid, but they also created a semiconductor similar to silicon.

(A) not only were able to transform the gas into a solid, but they also created

(A) not only were able to transform the gas into a solid, but they also created

(B) not only were able to transform the gas into a solid but also creating

(C) were able not only to transform the gas into a solid but to create

(D) were able not only to transform the gas into a solid but also creating

(E) were not only able to transform the gas into a solid, but they were also able to create

哪位NN讲讲E的错误？大全里有but they also的例子啊。

我现在发现了，GMAC有自己的一套语法，就比如说在正常的情况下，你能说被动是不对的语法吗？你能说becasue  of 不能表示原因，不如because好吗？

所以not only ，but also 要求对称。。并且在GMAC的要求是butalso 不能拆开。。但是大全里面有些题目是ets出的吧。。他们允许but also可以拆开，其实也是对的。。按这么说，A也是对了，做语法题目，不是选择哪个正确，而是选择哪个更好，兄弟：）
