AA: Author stated that to start a new business or to 'get rich', we cannot use conventional practices and ways of thinkings.

AI: Business manager for a dealership sent a memo to all the dealerships saying that on the month of June, the dealership's luxury models were put in the showroom and the sales for both the luxury and inexpensive models increases and was the highest of the year. Whereas, for the month of February, when the dealership puts the inexpensive models in the showroom, the sales for both luxury and inexpensive models decrease. Clearly, to maximize the dealership's profit, it should put the luxury models all year round on the showroom. Because clearly, not only the luxury models sell, but also attract customers to buy the inexpensive cars.

Sorry guys, my Verbral sucks and I cant remember anything.

For CR, I only saw 2 questions from JJ, 55555, the British Book store one and the Banana ones asking for Main Point.

For RC, I think none of mine comes from JJ.... Sigh.... Maybe I fell into the low-score questions bank already.

RC and CR is really my weakest part, I really need a lot of help and advice from all of you NN. I think I am OK with my SC, and I thought I am ok with CR and RC. But after today, I changed my mind, I really need help on CR and RC. Can TX give me some advice please ? Thank you soooo much and good luck to all of the CDers.

I am sorry, I dont know how to type in chinese

mermaidww · 发表于 2009-12-17 13:58:10

thanks LZ,

regarding this SC: 2. not only blahblahblah, but blahblah blah also This should be the correct form for the final answer.

are you sure this is the right answer? it doesn't look like the right one, not only should be matched by but also, not but .....also......

right?

smartyfool · 发表于 2009-12-17 14:07:50

Yea I understand the 'not only...but also' idioms, but out of the 5 answers that I have. That one makes the most sense.

I recalled that the underlined part of the sentence has something such as "not only the refrigeration, the -tion, and the -tion of the marine blahblah , but blahblah also blahblah '

Sentence is something like " Scientists found not only the refridertaion, the -tion, and the -tion, but blahblah also ..."

To me , not only this answer fulfilled the parallelisms part of the 3 -tion, but also it somewhat follows the idioms ' not only.. but also..' All other 3 answers doesnt follow this idiom and are wrong. Answer choices D and E are the only ones that follow the idiom rule. But D should be eliminated because it doesnt follow the parallelism rules for the 3 -tion that I mentioned above.

Is it clear ?

mermaidww · 发表于 2009-12-17 14:13:14

OK, thanks for your explanation.

how about " not only......, but......", did you see this one? because this is a correct idiom as well.

smartyfool · 发表于 2009-12-17 14:18:44

Yup, in fact, both D and E contain the idiom " not only...but". But again, D was eliminated because it failed the follow the parallelism.

Ans D is like ' not only the refrigeration, -tion, and -tion, but blahblah also '

VS

Ans E 'not only the redrigeration, the -tion and the -tion, but blah blah also '

I believed the missing 'the' in D makes it wrong.
