Hi,
this Q is testing on the IDIOM not only.... but also....
1) most important point is that we have parallelism after 'not only' and 'but also'
to check this, read the sentence in two parts separately for not only portion and for but also portion...
1) Splarchestein government was not only able to transform the impoverished coastal regions into thriving economic hubs...
2)but Splarchestein government was it was also able to create....
does it make sense ..NO..
for A to be correct..
it should have been:-
Splarchestein government was not only able to transform the impoverished coastal regions into thriving economic hubs...but
lets see how E reads:-
1) Splarchestein government was able not only to transform the impoverished coastal regions into thriving economic hubs...
2)but Splarchestein government wasable to create...
Hope it helps.

Hi Chetan
my question might sound dumb, please bear with me. Since this tests on the 'not only...but also' idiom, the option E doesn't have 'also' present in it.
So how is it right? Can you please explain?
