Complete the sentence: Not only did she win the race, she ______ break the record.

• A. even
• B. also
• C. still
• D. never

Answer: (B)

This tests the not only … but also construction and how to link two positive achievements about the same subject. After the inverted opening Not only did she win the race, the second clause should add another related fact about her, using a word that shows addition. Also is the natural choice here because it cleanly connects the two accomplishments without changing the meaning or tone. The sentence then reads smoothly: Not only did she win the race, she also broke the record.

Other options would change the nuance or don't fit the structure as well. Even can add emphasis, but it doesn’t sit as the simple connector in this parallel pattern. Still suggests continuation, which isn’t the intended sense here, and never contradicts the positive tone.
