答案选D,现在已经明白了。 但是看底下讨论帖http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-373926-2-1.html说:not only...but also之间不能在but also之间加东东,我有质疑。 6楼斑竹说:not only...but also之间不能加东东, 但是看了http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=352851&replyID=&skin=1 这个not only but also用法总结帖, 我看not only,but also,若是倒装语态是可以在but also之间加东西的。 例:《新编英语语法》薄冰P633:Not only does he compose music, but he also play 若是在正常语序下,例:He plays not only the piano but also the violin. (连接两个宾语),短语本身不可以加入其它成份,比如变成:not only...but it also...是错误的(因为破坏了平衡)。 8楼仁兄说: A. Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also(X,用法错误,且句意逻辑上可用not only but also) ----错误同上
非常赞同!GWD-8-Q20给出的答案为A,错了吧。。。。 另外,题目下面有一句话Note: Guan, Weidong told me that ETS made the question wrong. The answer should be “A” on the condition of “it but also”.请问这个又如何解释呢?
