OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
As the development of cities, not only is there more air pollution but also more noise pollution than before.
A. the development of cities, not only is there more air pollution but also
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. A comparative section beginning with as should always include a conjugated verb. The comparative section in this answer choice (As the development of cities), however, does not include a verb.
What helps us identify this question as a Comparative question as well as the mistake is the following Stop Sign: Like, unlike, than, as
B. cities develop, not only is there more air pollution but
Although this answer choice corrects the original Comparative error by changing the noun phrase the development of cities to the verb phrase cities develop following the word as, it is grammatically incorrect. Not only must be followed by but also, not just but.
What helps us identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: not only... but also...
C. cities develop, there is more air pollution but also
Although this answer choice corrects the original Comparative error by changing the noun phrase the development of cities to the verb phrase cities develop following the word as, it is grammatically incorrect. But also must be preceded by not only.
What helps us identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: not only... but also...

E. cities develop, not only is there more air pollution but also
A comparative section beginning with as should always include a conjugated verb. The comparative section in this answer choice corrects the original error by using the verb develop.
