SC - Idiom - not only but also

by karthikpandian19 » Thu Jun 07, 2012 9:32 pm
A GMAT CAT score is based on not only the number of questions answered correctly but also their difficulty level

on not only the number of questions answered correctly but also their difficulty level
not only on the number of questions answered correctly but also their difficulty level
not only on the number of questions answered correctly but also their level of difficulty
not only on the number of questions answered but also on their difficulty level
on not only the number of questions answered correctly but also on their difficulty level

B - not only on ... but also - on missing
C - same as above
D - number of questions answered - correctly is missing and changes the meaning
E - on not only X ... but also on Y - not parallel

IMO A.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

do agree with OA and its explanation but got one doubt..

with same options if D had word "correctly" after answered, then would D be the preferred choice??

if no then please correct me,.,.

In that case, both A and D would be correct in meaning and grammar, something GMAC would never do.

Let me know if this helps. :)

Yes, D is not preferred for the sole reason of missing the word "correctly"

Yes the OA is correctly given as A. It was between A and D but D misses out on an important meaning and hence is the wrong answer.

A is parallel and delivers the intended meaning unambigiously.

Thank You.
