OG13 64的解析中提到using but also without not only is incorrect.
但是38题:
Bengal-born writer, philosopher, and educator Rabindranath Tagore had the greatest admiration for Mohandas K. Gandhi the person and also as a politician, but Tagore had been skeptical of Gandhi's form of nationalism and his conservative opinions about India's cultural traditions.
   
(A)for Mohandas K. Gandhi the person and also as a politician, but Tagore had been
(B)for Mohandas K. Gandhi as a person and as a politician, but Tagore was also
(C)for Mohandas K. Gandhi not only as a person and as a politician, but Tagore was also
(D)of Mohandas K. Gandhi as a person and as also a politician, but Tagore was
(E)of Mohandas K. Gandhi not only as a person and as a politician, but Tagore had also been  
正确答案（B）。这不算单独使用but also吗？

首先，这句话单独使用but also 意思不是表示递进而是表示转折，尽管have admiration  but also  保持怀疑态度
如果使用not only but also 那么也只能使用在前半句中not only as a person but also ascertain a politician

谢谢你，基本明白了。含有转折的意思，就可以单独but also.
38题解析里说题目可以理解成“Tahore had not only admiration but also skepticism” , 但用这个习语的选项没有用对。而正确句子里没有取递进的意思。
