147.

By pressing a tiny amount of nitrogen between two diamonds to a pressure of 25 million pounds per square inch, scientists not only were able to transform the gas into a solid, but they also created a semiconductor similar to silicon.

(A) not only were able to transform the gas into a solid, but they also created
(B) not only were able to transform the gas into a solid but also creating
(C) were able not only to transform the gas into a solid but to create
(D) were able not only to transform the gas into a solid but also creating
(E) were not only able to transform the gas into a solid, but they were also able to create




Ans: C

覺得 (E) 平衡不錯.有沒有什麼問題呢?
not only... but also 什麼時候要在 but 前面加逗點?

考 not only... but (also)... 平衡

(A) (B) (D) 都不平衡
i.e.
(A) (B) 應該是 not only {were able to transform...}, but they also {(were able to) create...}
(D) 應該是 were able not only {to transform...} but also {to create...}

(C) (E) 選一個:都平衡,所以看哪個簡潔囉!
比較長短 => (C)

其實 ETS 真不是省油的燈. but 前面有逗點(表示連接詞另起一句)的選項,都有主詞. not only... ,but (also)... 在 but 前面有逗點也極為常見(似乎已是標準句型). 如果把相同的字都省略以符合簡潔原則, (C) 的 but 前面原本是不是該有個逗點呢?

今天看到這題 再對照gwd中一題:補充一下but S also和but also的不同
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
答案(d)

but S also要用在前後句意相反的情況,如上題,前面不能加not only
but also要用在承接的句意中,如pp本題,前面一定要有not only

本句依句意看,表承接(a)(e)直接刪,再依平衡解出(c)

我覺得E選項好像也沒有平衡耶,如果平衡的話,句子應該是長這樣:were not only able to transform the gas into a solid, but also able to create,but also中間應該不可以加they were
