<p>Some people believe that one day we will establish not only bases on the Moon, but also a landing on Neptune will occur.

I was stuck between B and E. so could someone explain why is B the answer, doesn't E have parallelism with the "we will" part? Is it because "not only" is always followed by "but also"?</p>

<p>B- not only bases on the Moon will be established, but also a landing on Neptune will be made.</p>

<p>E- we will not only establish bases on the Moon, but we will land on Neptune</p>

<p>Actually, the answer is C (unless there's a typo in my book?) </p>

<p>B is wrong because the use of the passive makes the sentence unnecessarily clunky. The SAT isn't a very big fan of the passive voice.</p>

<p>E is wrong because, as you guessed, it lacks the "not only...but also..." construction that is preserved in choice C.</p>
