Question

1. Not only was she noisy and rude but also rather stupid.
2. The Admiral was told he was either a liar or he was a fool.
3. The car is not only economical but also feels good to drive.

Answer 1

HI there - that's a great question. I have a little trick that might help you visualize the parallelism. If something is parallel, they are equal right? Look at the sentence broken apart.

1. The Admiral was told he was either a liar or he was a fool.

he was a fool.

If you line these up, they are the same word pattern. He was a liar he was a fool. They are equal or parallel.

It's all about the patterns.
