(2) but seldom
(3) but also
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct answer is the third option .
The reason for this improvement is that "not only" is followed by "but also" (correlative conjunction) and is used when emphasising that someone possesses two qualities or attributes, in this case, being both a good teacher and a good man.
Hence, the sentence should be: "He is not only a good teacher but also a good man."
