SC - not only.....but(Manhattan Flash Card Doubt)

by goelmohit2002 Sun Oct 04, 2009 3:34 pm

Hi All,

In the Manhattan SC flash cards available at:

http://www.manhattangmat.com/pdf/FlashC ... e_2009.pdf

page#88....

the sentence given is
"Being a pacifist, I was not only upset she was being so militaristic, but, that she was torturing the captives."

Apart from being usage....Flash cards say the above is wrong....because of wrong idiom "not only....but "

The same is corrected as

"As a pacifist, I was upset not only that she was being so militaristic but also that she was torturing the captives."

But I guess "not only X....but Y"...is a correct idiom in GMAT...

Please correct me if I am wrong.
