<p>Ok, is this question correct? If it is, could you explain it to me please.</p>
<p>Thousands of visitors from around the world travel to Siena during the (((summer; not)))only to witness the exciting race but also to attend the after-parties thrown by the locals.</p>
<p>A. No change
B. summer. Not
C. summer not
D. summer, not</p>
<p>Correct answer: D</p>
<p>However, isnt C correct because of the fact that a comma isn't really needed there. I mean what comma rule applies to this sentence. Also, this question came from the PR, so ya this isn't an "official" question.</p>
<p>PR is known for typos sometimes. I feel like there should be a comma before “but also”. and then D would obviously be the answer. That’s the only way the whole sentence could be correct.</p>
<p>point is, don’t worry about it. if you’re thinking about it this much and know what the rules basically are, then when you get the real test you’ll know the answer for sure.</p>
<p>Ok, so are you guys saying that the ACT would not test a relationship between correlative conjunctions and commas. Because in all honesty, I simply don’t get this question. Like in the sentence below:
“I went to the store at noon not only to buy eggs but also to buy bread.” —I would not put a comma between noon and not because as I read that sentence, I simply don’t read it like I would if a comma was there. So ya, hopefully its not testable = D?</p>
<p>either way the sentence needs to be consistent. either commas in both places or no commas at all. that’s my opinion on the matter, maybe ask an english teacher at school.</p>
