Florida s Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail, a mixed-use [#permalink]
 20 Jan 2013, 02:53
Question Stats:
64% (01:56) correct
35% (01:03) wrong based on 1 sessions
Florida’s Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail, a mixed-use recreation trail paved over an old rail bed, is a curious paradox: it is not only completely man-made but also designed exclusively for human use, yet is classified as a state park. is not only completely man-made but also designed exclusively for human use, yet is not only is completely man-made but also exclusively designed for human use, yet it is is completely man-made but also exclusively designed for human use, yet is completely man-made but also has been designed exclusively for human use, yet is is not only completely man-made but also is exclusively designed for human use, yet My Doubt is that in A , the last clause "yet is " should be "yet it is " .. since yet is a co-ordinating conjunction it should join two independent clauses , but the correct answer has not it .. Am is missing something here ?? Experts advice needed.

is not only completely man-made but also designed exclusively for human use, yet is
not only is completely man-made but also exclusively designed for human use, yet it is
is completely man-made but also exclusively designed for human use, yet
is completely man-made but also has been designed exclusively for human use, yet is
is not only completely man-made but also is exclusively designed for human use, yet
My Doubt is that in A , the last clause "yet is " should be "yet it is " .. since yet is a co-ordinating conjunction it should join two independent clauses , but the correct answer has not it ..
Am is missing something here ??
Experts advice needed. Read it this way: Florida’s Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail, a mixed-use recreation trail paved over an old rail bed, is a curious paradox: it is X yet (it) is Y. This is not // when you use it. "Yet is" is correct here. D has incorrect use of but also. So the correct answer is A.

Does that mean that the sentence below is also correct ?? it is pricy , yet is affordable. or should it be it is pricey yet it is affordable.

Experts advice needed. I think this should be the correct structure. By elimination we can reach A easily. B) not only is but also exclusively designed ----- not only but also should have parallel parts C) not only missing. D) not only missing. E) not only completely man-made but also is ---- not only but also should have parallel parts

or should it be
it is pricey yet it is affordable. It depends on the exact sentence but it would be correct to say : ......it is pricy , yet is affordable..... or ......it is pricy yet affordable. The choice depends on how it is used and how the sentence ends. "it is pricey yet it is affordable." is wordy. Hope it helps.
