Besides being grammatically awkward, the word "only" is a word not at all present in the original wording (usually a red flag). It is redundant and adds nothing to the meaning of the phrase.
I tutor GMAT/GRE level mathematics privately in the Los Angeles region, as well as via Skype for a discounted rate. Send me a message if you're interested.

As mentioned by Feed always avoide extrem words (only, any etc), unless it's mentioned in all choices.

X or Y (should be parallel)
Without any permission (Redundant)
