Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also caused erosion and very quickly deforested whole regions.

我选Ａ了，答案也是Ａ，但是有疑问Not only放句首要倒裝, 所以and之後應該用give吧，怎么能是gave. Not only…but also兩者後面所帶入的東西要相同屬性,本提前後含有轉折意味,不適合用not only but also. OG裡有提到but it also破壞了not only…but also的句型.还有答案选Ｄ，他理由是Created跟gave平衡, it代clearing清楚表示轉折句意.请ＮＮ看看，怎么想才更有说服力呢？

 这道题有什么问题吗？用not only but also没错呀，递进关系

个人对于not only but also的用法的理解是

1。当连接两个非完整句子的时候，直接用not only .... but also...连接两个成分

2。当连接的是两个完整句子的时候，由于句子之间需要连词，所以but充当了连词的作用，not only, but it also

如果说OG里说but it also破坏了结构，那么but also连接的肯定是两个非句子成分

D中，not only ...but also根本没有用完整，所以错了

The answer is D.

Please pay attention to the logical meaning of the context.

gwd说这题错了，有个note

Note: Guan, Weidong told me that ETS made the question wrong. The answer

should be “A” on the condition of “it but also”.

但我也没看出来这个note是啥意思，not only but also 翻译成 不但...而且 最准确，

表达的是递进的含义，这个句子明显是转折的。
