Please help resolve these Idiom controversies from the GMAT perspective:
1. not only .. but (Kaplan 800 says this is a valid one).
2. none of + [Plural Noun] + [Singular/Plural verb]? (Again Kaplan 800 says Singulare verb only).
3. contrast to / contrast with (are both acceptable?)
Thanks for your help.

1. "not only .. but": This is valid. i have seen some sentences with this form of idiom.
2. none of + [Plural Noun] + [Singular verb]. it should have singular verb not plural one.
3. contrast to/contrast with: "contrast with" is correct. "in contrast to" is also acceptable but "contrast to" alone, i am not sure.

Highlighted idiom is one of my doubts but w.r.t Pronoun.
Lets have a look at the sentence below:
a) None of the neighbors offered their support.
'neighbors' is a plural noun and 'their' is a plural pronoun.
I belive we can use 'their' because we don't know the gender of neighbors.
Now look at the following two sentences:
a) None of the boys offered their support.
b) None of the boys offered his support.
Which one is correct? (It might be a silly doubt but I need to clear it)
Regards,
Brajesh
