[not only]的這算是什麼用法？

Question

(A)Not only 
(B)Only 
(C)It 
(D)Neither 
答案給(A)，
為什麼？

答案就是(A)Not only！ ---> Not only was the Erie Canal an engineering triumph, it quickly proved a financial success as well. (伊利運河不僅是一項工程上的成功(或勝利)，而且很快地被證明同樣也是一項財務操作上之成工。)
Not only..., but... (also)... --->  不僅是...，而且也是...
句子加上 but 就較完整！  ---> Not only was the Erie Canal an engineering triumph, but it (also) quickly proved a financial success as well. ---> Not only 乃屬倒裝用法，可改為正統用法---> The Erie Canal was not only an engineering triumph, but it (also) quickly proved a financial success as well. ---> 所以 "it" 乃指伊利運河之主詞的代名詞...
(B)Only 只是, (C)It, 及 (D)Neither 絕不是...等違反與後面子句 "it quickly proved a financial success as well" 意義上之一致性！
所以，只有(A)Not only是正確的！

編號2最完整，補充一下，Not only屬否定副詞，放句首時必須倒裝，所以後面的主詞和be V.掉換位置。

因為後有個as well
not only............but also....代表不但....而且....
而句中not only.........as well也是一樣意思.只不過把but also改成............as well
其實三個選項都不對
第二個only後面一句接as well(也)就不對了
第三個it      It was the Erie Canal an engineering triumph.........後面那個子句沒有動詞一看就知道不對
第四個Neither後面一定有nor
neither.........nor代表既不是........也不是.....
所以第四個也不對

而句中第一句採否定副詞倒裝,也可以不倒裝.
