Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
The secretary to my boss is very efficient as he not only gives him the required information and also handles correspondence independently.
Option 1: yet also handles
Option 2: but also handles
Option 3: along with also handles
Option 4: not also handles
Correct Answer: but also handles
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The preposition "but" is better suited in place of "and", as "but also" is a correlative conjunction, which helps in joining equal elements in a sentence. The correlative conjunctions "not only..but also" are always used together to present two things or ideas in a sentence, which in this case means that the secretary is very efficient as he gives the required information as well as handles correspondence independently.
The correct sentence is: "The secretary to my boss is very efficient, as he not only gives him the required information but also handles correspondence independently."
