English Language (RRB-B) Sentence Completion

Which of the following phrases (I), (II), and (III) given below each sentence will fit into the blank to make the sentence grammatically correct? Choose the best option among the five given alternatives that reflect the correct use of the phrase in the context of the grammatically correct sentence.

____________________________________________ my birthday, but also didn’t apologise for forgetting it.

(I) she did forget not only

(II) Not only did she forget

(III) Not only she forgot

Only (I) is correct

Only (III) is correct

Both (I) and (II) are correct

Both (I) and (III) are correct

None is correct

Explanation:

Correct Answer is (c).The sentence can be completed using either the phrase (I) or (II). It is to be noted that to add emphasis, we can use not only at the beginning of a clause. When we do this, we invert the subject and the verb. When there is no auxiliary verb or main verb be, we use do, does, did. Therefore, only phrases (I) and (II) can be used to form a grammatically viable sentence. Hence, option ( c) is the most suitable answer choice.
