solar wind.
(A) As well as heat and light, the Sun is the source of a continuous stream
(B) Besides heat and light, also the Sun is the source of a continuous stream
(C) Besides heat and light, the Sun is also the source of a continuous streaming
(D) The Sun is the source not only of heat and light, but also of a continuous stream
(E) The Sun is the source of not only heat and light but, as well, of a continuous streaming
Answer to Question 241
Choice D, the best answer, has no modification errors and uses parallel phrases to complete the idiomatic
construction not only ... but also. Choices A, B, and C have modification errors: As well as heat and light and
Besides heat and light cannot logically modify the Sun, the nearest noun, as grammar requires them to do.
This misdirected modification suggests that heat and light are also (in addition to the Sun) a source of the solar
wind. Choice B may be faulted for the awkward word order of also the Sun, while C unnecessarily uses
streaming rather than the more straightforward stream. Choice E fails to use parallel phrases in the idiomatic
construction not only x ... but [also] y: of should not appear before not only if it appears after but, and but also is preferable to but. Finally, the use of the gerund streaming rather than the more straightforward noun stream
is needlessly awkward.

是說用As well as及Besides的話...
會讓人以為除了Sun以外...
heat and light也是a source of the solar
wind嗎?
不過這題不好選耶...
因為完全沒想到它要講的是a source of heat and light...
我能想到的就是Sun不等於 heat and light...
而是a source of heat and light...
不過這也是看完解答後才恍然大悟的....
