Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

(1) and (3) are incorrect because if two singular subjects are joined by “not only but also”, they take a singular verb whereas both (1) and (3) are used with plurals. (2) is incorrect because “will” alone cannot be used in a passive voice sentence.
