Question
Choose the correct alternative to transform the sentence into a simple sentence.
Not only did his teachers give him enough practice, but his parents too.
Options
His parents with his teachers gave him enough practice.
His teachers and the parents gave him enough practice.
Besides his teachers giving him enough practice, his parents gave practice also.
Besides his teachers giving him enough practice, his parents did the same.
Solution
His teachers and the parents gave him enough practice.
Explanation:
There is a connecting word "not only...but also" in the original line that links two clauses. To make it easier to understand, we need to combine the knowledge in a way that makes it clear. This is done in Option B by using the word "and" to connect the two themes ("His teachers" and "the parents") into a single, clear action.
