Process of elimination:
1)The correct idiom is "Not only X but also Y". Eliminate A.
2)In B there is a change in meaning, since the "she believed..." part is not included.
3)In C "themselves" is useless. Eliminate C.
4)E uses the future tense, which is incorrect if you analyze the meaning of the sentence, and is unnecessarily wordy. Eliminate E.
D is concise, uses the correct parallelism and conveys the right meaning.
Correct answer: D

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
The correct expression is ‘not only...but also...’. Eliminate A. B changes the meaning by eliminating ‘she believed’. Choice C is inefficient as it uses the word ‘themselves’. Choice E uses the wrong tense, the present. Choice D is the correct answer.
