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 caused erosion and very quickly deforested whole regions.

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
B. Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast), which gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but also
C. The systematic clearing of forests in the United States, creating farmland (especially in the Northeast) and giving consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but also
D. The systematic clearing of forests in the United States created farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also
E. The systematic clearing of forests in the United States not only created farmland (especially in the Northeast), giving consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it 要点:not only did。。。do,but it also 这样的格式只有在前面not only是倒装的情况下可以接受;
PS有两点:
1.假如说是这样的:Jim not only ate apples,but he also。。错误!只能是not only did Jim eat apples,but he also ate bananas
2.前面没有not only的时候:Jim is a mean person,but he also cares about people 这样是对的。如果是not only but also的时候是不仅而且,但是如果是只有but also的时候,就表示转折了
这里A中应是did create和give并列,但是这里是gave排除A;B中用which结构代替了原来并列平行的结构,这是错误的,改变了句意,而且我个人认为,这里是并列句而且是not only倒装的形式,还真得必须补出but it also;C中没有谓语动词,排除;DE进行PK,E把原句中并列平行的部分变成了修饰部分,改变了原句的逻辑意思;而D中没有not only,只有but it also,表现出了转折的语气,正确的逻辑意思:system带来了好的,也带来了坏的
2.随意的除去和增加新的词汇、改变词性、改变修饰的成分:原句中的情态动词被去掉,can变成了be able to,或者原来没有的情态动词加了进去;economic变成了economical,aggravate变成了aggravating,significant变成了significantly;原来in 1900修饰的是A,在这里放在了句子后面修饰B;这三种做法都是典型的改变原句语义
