60. Not only did Christopher Columbus refuse to accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, he also pressed relentlessly for royal support for his westward voyage to Asia, finally receiving approval and financing from King Ferdinand of Spain in 1492 after several rejections.

A  Not only did Christopher Columbus refuse to accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, he also pressed relentlessly for royal support for his westward voyage to Asia, finally receiving

B  Not only did Christopher Columbus refuse to accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, also pressing relentlessly for royal support for his westward voyage to Asia; he finally received

C  Christopher Columbus not only refused to accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, but he pressed relentlessly for royal support for his westward voyage to Asia, and finally receiving

D  Christopher Columbus not only refused to accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat but pressed relentlessly for royal support for his westward voyage to Asia, finally receiving

E  Not only refusing to accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat but pressing relentlessly for royal support for his westward voyage to Asia, Christopher Columbus, finally receiving

In this sentence, two parallel ideas – the idea that Christopher Columbus refused to accept the conventional wisdom and the idea that he pressed for funding for his voyage – are connected by the parallel indicators “not only” and “also.” The correct idiom is either “not only X but also Y” or “not only X but Y.”

(A) This choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence.

(B) The two constructions at the beginning of this choice are not parallel: one of them is a clause, with a subject and verb (“did Columbus”), while the other is simply an –ingconstruction. Moreover, in order to be parallel with “not only,” the second construction should be preceded by “but.” Further, the part of the sentence before the semi-colon is not a complete sentence.

(C) The two constructions at the beginning of this choice are not parallel; the construction following “not only” is just a verb phrase, with no subject (“refused”), while the construction following “but” is a full clause, with both a subject and a verb (“he pressed”). Furthermore, the final construction is introduced with the conjunction "and" – a parallelism signal – but that construction is an –ingform (“receiving”), which is not parallel to any other construction in the sentence.

(D) CORRECT.The constructions after “not only” and “but” are properly parallel (“refused” and “pressed”). Additionally, the final construction (“finally receiving”) maintains the construction in the original sentence, a comma + -ingtype modifier, properly conveying the idea that Columbus’s success in securing royal funding was a direct result of his persistent efforts.

(E) This is a sentence fragment; there is no main verb. The parallel construction at the beginning is constructed as an initial –ingmodifier, and the words after the subject Christopher Columbus are another modifier (-ingconstruction blocked off by commas). Therefore, the subject Christopher Columbus does not have a verb.

比较简单的一题，主要就是not only.......but (also)的用法，这里面的but是不能省略的，但是有时候also是可以省略的。同时，v-ing形式做伴随结构时前面不能加and，否则and后面就成了sentence segment。这些都是实战中可能遇到的考点。

恭喜大家，都做对了！

我选D。
A选项的not only，but also不完整，后面缺少but。
B选项也不完整，也also后面不平行。
C选项后面的and finally receiving，and多余。
E选项没有谓语。

herminliu

我选D，我的思路是

A不对：如果not only在句首的话，是倒装结构，正确的结构应该是not only ...., but also....的结构，但是这里是：not only did...., sb also did
B不对，因为结构是：not only...., also doing sth; SB did sth
1)分号分割的应该是两个independent clause, 而分号前的句子里，also是不能做连接词用，所以这里的结构就变成了RON ON SENTENCE
2）also pressing用法错误，not only did sth, doing sth. doing在逗号后面是做独主，修饰前面的整句的。一般表达：因果关系，或者是“同时”的关系；或者强调结果；而这里pressing relentlessly for royal support for his westward voyage to Asia和refuse to accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat不是因果关系，同时的关系，或者一种automatic result. 相反用动词并列感觉比较好。

C. Christopher Columbus not only refused to accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, but he pressed relentlessly for royal support for his westward voyage to Asia--->到这里的句子结构可以,only在这里修饰refused做adv.

问题出在后面部分：and finally receiving，and做连词，有并列的作用，后面是doing的形式前面也应该有doing的结构，可是这里没有
AND通常是：
1) SVO, AND SVO
2) SVO AND VO
3) SVO AND O
3) S be doing sth, doing sth, AND doing sth--------->只有在这种情况下AND doing前面才会有逗号，表达一种list的并列情况

D正确。
finally receiving,是独主
1）表达一种因果的状态：是 pressed relentlessly for royal support for his westward voyage to Asia,的结果
2）和后面未划线的结构平行：and financing from King Ferdinand of Spain in 1492 after several rejections.

E，错误因为不是个句子
not only doing sth but doing sth, doing sth. 完全没有主谓宾，而the earth was flat是that从句修饰wisdom
