Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes each of the following sentences.
I was not only tired.......sick.
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "but also." This is because "not only...but also" is a correlative conjunction that shows a relationship between two ideas. In this sentence, "not only" introduces the first idea ("I was tired"), and "but also" introduces the second idea ("I was sick"). Therefore, the correct option is "but also" as it shows the relationship between the two ideas.
