1. Question 1

   Q1. Which sentence correctly pairs correlative conjunctions?

   • A) Not only the guide was late but the bus also broke down.
   • B) Not only was the guide late, but the bus also broke down.
   • C) Not only was the guide late but also the bus broke down without comma balance.
   • D) Not only the guide was late but also broke down the bus.

   Answer: Not only was the guide late, but the bus also broke down.

   Explanation: "Not only…but also" is a correlative conjunction pair; subject-verb inversion is required after "not only" at the start of a clause, giving "not only was the guide late."
