问题描述:

( )Mary( )Sue knows nothing about the matter,( )they didn't go to school last Friday
A.Either;or;because
B.Both;and;as
C.Not only;but;for
答案给的是C,为什么不能选B呢?

knows 显示主语为单数,如果选B,主语就是复数了

both ...and 后面要用复数形式 knows 是单三

Not only.but(also)连接主语,谓语采用就近原则,在这也就是与Sue保持一致,因此动词是三单形式knows.
而both.and连接主语,视为复数,因此应该是know

用B的话后面的动词know就不能加S了,至于后面的because ,as 都可以的
