Parallelism basics

Expert replies

Hi Friends, need some clarity related to basics of parallelism involving infinitives. This might have been discussed earlier, but thought could be a good refresher for all. Thanks

Example from Manhattan SC Guide: We would like NOT ONLY to hear your side of the story BUT ALSO to provide a response.

#1: Does GMAT consider the following sentence grammatically correct?

We would like to NOT ONLY hear your side of the story BUT ALSO provide a response (just one to before NOT ONLY).

#2: We would like NOT ONLY to hear your side of the story BUT ALSO provide a response. I believe this is incorrect as to needs to be repeated just before BUT ALSO), the same way its done in the Example shown above.

1 is not correct because you created a split infinitive with to hear.

2 also does not make sense. You need infinitive forms of 'to hear' and 'to provide.'

Hi Jim, my 1st sentence (in Italics below) is primarily based on #3 option in the following construction. Is there any specific rule in 'infinitive' construction.

"We would like to NOT ONLY hear your side of the story BUT ALSO provide a response (just one to before NOT ONLY)".

#1:Incorrect: He not only lost his luggage but also his tickets.
#2:Correct: He not only lost his luggage but also lost his tickets.
#3:Correct: He lost not only his luggage but also his tickets.

Any thoughts? Thanks
