Question

Answer 1

The correct answer is 'Part C'.

Key Points

Some conjunctions given below are used in a pair known as correlative conjunctions:
- Whether...or, either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also, though...yet, etc.
For example:
- He likes not only milk cake but other sweets.
- He likes not only milk cake but also other sweets.
According to the rule and the example given above, 'but also' will be used instead of 'but' in the 3rd part of the sentence.

Additional Information

To add emphasis, 'not only' can be used at the beginning of a clause.
When it is done, we invert the subject and the verb.
Example: Not only did she forget my birthday, but she also didn’t even apologize for forgetting it.

Correct Sentence: They will paint not only the outside of the house but also the inside of the house.
