OG 125题目外的问题

summersmile

125. The winds that howl across the Great Plains not only blow away valuable topsoil, thereby reducing the potential crop yield of a tract of land, and also damage or destroy young plants.

(A) and also damage or destroy

(B) as well as damaging or destroying

(C) but they also cause damage or destroy

(D) but also damage or destroy（D）

(E) but also causing damage or destroying

thereby reducing the potential crop yield of a tract of land在这里做表结果的状语修饰blow away valuable topsoil？？

thx!

对

如果没有D.把C.改为but they also damage or destroy,对么?

即:

not only,but also句型后面必须省略主语么?

请问，OG11的紫色对A的解释说：

and also is not the correct idiom;not only is followed by but also or also

怎么不是说not only...but (also)怎么ETS认为可以直接接ALSO的呢？？

没看懂哦，请解释下好吗？谢谢！！

以下是引用dormousedzc在2007/11/29 22:05:00的发言：

按照正常语法来讲，not only只能连用，但but also既可连用，也可分开用，如：
a. He speaks not only English,but also French. 他不仅说英语，还说法语。
b. Television is not only boring,but it also wastes a lot of time. 电视不仅乏味，而且还浪费许多时间。

从上面看似乎你的改法是对的，但是...OG的解释告诉我们，but also 似乎不能分开

 C (not only... but they also) violate the not only... but also paradigm——摘自OG的解释

而且我看了所有题目中but also 中间有代词的都不会是正确选项，但是...

很不幸，我在GMAT 和LSAT逻辑大全里找到了这么2个句子：

Last month OCF, Inc., announced what it described as a unique new product: an adjustable computer workstation. Three days later ErgoTech unveiled an almost identical product. The two companies claim that the similarities are coincidental and occurred because the designers independently reached the same solution to the same problem. The similarities are too fundamental to be mere coincidence, however. The two products
                        not only look alike, but they also work alike. Both are oddly shaped with identically placed control panels with the same types of controls. Both allow the same types of adjustments and the same types of optional enhancements.

The main point of the argument is that

“Fast cycle time” is a strategy of designing a manufacturing organization to eliminate bottlenecks and delays in production. Not only
                    does it speed up production, but it also assures quality. The reason is that the bottlenecks and delays cannot be eliminated unless all work is done right the first time.

理论上两种都可以：

(1) Scarlett quaked lest she and Frank lose not only their freedom but the house,the store and mill. 斯佳丽害怕得发抖，惟恐她与弗兰克不仅会失去自由，而且还会失去房屋、商店及锯木厂。
(2) She's not only an excellent housewife also a first class mathematician. 她不仅是一个出色的家庭主妇，而且是一位一流的数学家。

但既然你的OG解释not only is followed by but also or also，或许省略but优于省略but？

这个就要NN来发表高论了
