Answer options

  1. Only
  2. No substitution
  3. No only
  4. Not only

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Not only

Explanation: The correct answer is D.✅ The correct correlative expression is "Not only... but also...". The sentence uses the incorrect word "None only", which is grammatically incorrect. Correct sentence: Not only did the men aid in the work, but the women also did their part. "Only", "No only", and "None only" do not form valid grammatical structures in this context. "Not only" pairs properly with "but also", forming a standard correlative construction used for emphasis.
