As well as heat and light, the Sun is the source of a continuous stream of atomic particles known as the 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

Looks D to me. Please provide OA.

Thanks
Mankey

I am stuck between C & D.

However, I think C is concise.

stream of particles is correct.
'Streaming' sounds not okay..
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..

HSPA.

A: Looks like incorrect use of 'as well.'
B: Holding...
C: Streaming... it should be 'stream'
D: I love the not only X but Y idiom
E: Streaming... it should be 'stream'

I was not able to find a concrete reasons to shoot down B, but I like the use of the idiom in D and 'also' seems a bit weird in B. I'm going with D.
I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?
