<li>A study of stocks and bonds reveal interest earned on corporate and municipal bonds tend to be lower than earning from stocks, but bonds interest is virtually guaranteed. </li>
</ol>
<p>To save time, I narrowed it down to the two that seemed the best.</p>
<p>B. reveals interest earned on corporate and municipal bonds tends to be
E. reveals that interest earned on corporate and municipal bonds tends to be</p>
<li>Doctors now realize not only that cholesterol hardens the arteries, but also that it increases the risk of heart attack.</li>
</ol>
<p>Narrowed it down to</p>
<p>A. same as underlined
D. are realizing that cholesterol not only hardens</p>
<p>I would say D for both. With the first one its how the word reveal patterns with the word "that." The word must be included for the clause to make sense. The study didn't reveal <strong><em>. It revealed THAT _</em></strong>. With the "that" included, the verb works better with revealing the statement (the underlined portion). Hope it helped.</p>
<p>Well, in formal English, you normally use either that, which, who, whom, etc. to join a clause that describes the verb or acts like an adjective.</p>
<p>The clause starting from interest describes WHAT the study reveals, you have to use that to join it.</p>
<p>This is probably perplexing, but if you were to try to ask a question, it would be:</p>
<p>Q: What does a study of stocks and bonds reveal?
A: A study of stocks and bonds reveals that interest earned on corporate and municipal bonds tends to be lower than earning from stocks, but bonds interest is virtually guaranteed.</p>
<p>This is very formal though, I didn't think they would test it on the SAT. They make this errors countless times themselves...</p>
<hr>
<p>In the second one, it's the same thing. What are doctors now realizing? Doctors now are realizing that cholesterol not only hardens the arteries, but also that it increases the risk of heart attack.</p>
<p>The second one cannot POSSIBLY be D. because the "but also" must have a "not only" that precedes it. I say number 2 is A.</p>
<p>I think it's
1. E
2. A
But I think 1 is a little too meticulous a question. I've never seen answer choices like that for any SAT grammar Q...
This is from PR's 11 tests right?</p>
<p>^Woops didn't notice that, but I still stand by A for number 2, because D is wordier and slightly awkward. What are the answers?
Oh and, for number 2, the not only and but also have to be parallel. (I think that's the proper category). "that it" comes after but also, so "that cholesterol" should come after "not only". For D to be correct I think it would have to be "not only hardens but also increases"</p>
<p>^ no menz, 2D is very whacked.
1 E ur ears can find the correct answer on this one ~~
2 A this is so obvious... not only that... but also that...</p>
<p>these 2 Qs can possibly be cb's . i've seen something like that in the very beginning of W sections . they test simple daily usage of -that-.</p>
<p>Doctors now realize not only that cholesterol hardens the arteries, but also that it increases the risk of heart attack.
or.
Doctors now realize that cholesterol not only hardens the arteries, but also increases the risk of heart attack.</p>
<p>Or are both appropriate? Is there a rule to what order the not only phrase and subject should be arranged?
Refewr to above for examples of what I mean.</p>
<p>not only that it's concise, but also that it's " parallelly" structured</p>
<p>not only because ... but also because...
not only green... but also blue...
not only that <--- noun clause
but also that
the wrong one is wrong because it breaks the parallel structure by changing " that" (a noun clause indicator), to V. (hardens)</p>
