The animal activist has raised awareness not only on the plight of abandoned dogs, but also on overworked bulls and temple elephants.
Question and options
The animal activist has raised awareness not only on the plight of abandoned dogs, but also on overworked bulls and temple elephants.
- on the plight of not only the abandoned dogs, but also on those of overworked bulls
- not only on the plight of the abandoned dogs, but also on that of overworked bulls
- the plight of abandoned dogs, as well as the over worked bulls
- the plight of abandoned dogs, but also on overworked bulls
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - not only on the plight of the abandoned dogs, but also on that of overworked bulls
After 'not only … but also' the two parts must be parallel: 'not only on the plight of the abandoned dogs, but also on that of overworked bulls', where 'that' stands for 'the plight'. The printed wording pairs 'the plight of dogs' with 'bulls', 'those of' wrongly uses a plural for the singular 'plight', and the versions beginning 'the plight of' leave 'raised awareness' without its preposition.
