答案
C
解析
Parallelism; Rhetorical construction
The sentence indicates three uses for castor oil. The first two are correctly joined using the correlative conjunction not only, but also. However, the three uses are not listed in parallel grammatical form. The sentence would be better with three adverb phrases beginning with as: as a laxative, as a skin-softening lotion, and as a construction lubricant.
A The three uses for castor oil are not listed in parallel grammatical form since the first is an adverb phrase, the second is a noun phrase, and the third is an independent clause, which is ungrammatically conjoined to the preceding part of the sentence without an intervening comma.
B The three uses for castor oil are not listed in parallel grammatical form since the first two are noun phrases and the third is an independent clause.
C Correct. The three uses for castor oil are listed as parallel adverb phrases, and the correlative conjunction not only, but also is constructed correctly.
D The three uses for castor oil are not listed in parallel grammatical form. The placing of not only after as is incorrect; the phrase in construction is also incorrectly placed.
E The word as is missing from the second and third elements of the correlative conjunction, so the three uses for castor oil are not listed correctly in parallel grammatical form.
The correct answer is C.
