第一题是不是弄错了，不可能 没有 not only ,就有but also   不能用it  因为指代不明

第二题 its 在GMAT中出现 90% 是错的  排除A B C   ,另外 当but连接的句子与主句的主语一致时，可以省略but主语，避免重复。
第三题  v-ing 强调多次重复性动作 或是 自然现象 法律法规

c中并没有出现谓语动词啊，另外也改变了句子的结构。d中不是but also 而是but it also啊，在并列句中 it优先指代前句中的主语 故而权衡之下 d稍好些

第一题：not only 和but also是固定搭配，之间不能加代词it之类的，也不能拆开单独使用，所以A\C\E错。B中的代词which指代farmland所以错。

同问第三题！我也想选D

第三题和第一题有些明白了。。

但是 第二题 还是不明白- -||不能因为什么90%错这种说法就否定C吧- -~~

还是希望大家再多多解释多多讨论~

还是觉得第二题的it有点指代不明裸奔的意思，而且2个it或者its的连用不太常见。
我觉得GMAC有怎么简洁怎么来的倾向，就像有ving不用with修饰一样，既然E没有逻辑不明的错误，而且比C指代简洁，那可能是E比较好。

我觉得it就是主语。。前面那句的主语一样。。~~~

也许真的是but后面要省略主语？不懂- -~|||

关于简洁。。怎么样才叫简洁呢。。长得比较短就是简洁么。。。
