<li>When this war is over, no nation will either be isolated in war or peace.
C) be isolated in neither war nor peace
D) be isolated either in war or in peace</li>
</ol>
<p>I marked C but the right answer is C. Both of these choices sound credible enough to be right, so can anyone explain why C is wrong?</p>
<ol>
<li>However many mistakes have been made in our past, the tradition of America, not only the champion of freedom but also fair play, still lives among millions who can see light and hope scarcely anywhere else.
B ) the champion of not only freedom but also of fair play
C ) the champion not only of freedom but also of fair play
The right answer here is C and once again it deals with parallelism. Same question as above.</li>

<p>Thank you for replying and this is from an 05 version of Barron's btw. :D</p>
<p>you could definitely tell it’s not College Board…</p>
<p>1) How do both answer choices sound credible? “neither” is the opposite of “either”
2) “not only freedom but also of fairplay”? so its not “freedom,” and not “of fairplay”? how can you even compare the two?</p>
<p>I agree with CRAZYBANDIT’s answer for the first question. </p>
<p>2) The answer is C because you have to look at where they put that “of” preposition.
So, “not only OF freedom but also OF fair play”…the “of” is supposed to go after “not only” and “but also” to maintain parallelism.
For Choice B, “OF not only freedom but also OF fair play” makes no sense bcuz one “of” is put before “not only” and the other is after “but also”, which is not parallel.</p>
<p>The deal is that Barron is questionable book. Kaplan makes it too easy. Princeton Review is harder than the college board.</p>
