Be careful that the right words stand in correlation, and stand where they
belong.
+Examples+.--Give me neither riches _nor_ (not _or_) poverty. I cannot find
either my book _or_ (not _nor_) my hat. Dogs not only bark (not _not only
dogs_ bark) but also bite. _Not only dogs_ (not _dogs not only_) bark but
wolves also. He _was neither_ (not _neither was_) rich nor poor.
+Direction+.--_Study the Caution, and correct these errors_:--
1. He not only gave me advice but also money.
2. A theatrical part may either imply some peculiarity of gesture or a
dissimulation of my real sentiments.
3. She not only dressed richly but tastefully.
4. Neither Massachusetts or Pennsylvania has the population of New York.
5. Thales was not only famous for his knowledge of nature but also for his
moral wisdom.
6. Not only he is successful but he deserves to succeed.
7. There was nothing either strange nor interesting.
+Caution+.--Choose apt connectives, but do not use them needlessly or
instead of other parts of speech.
+Examples+.--Seldom, _if_ (not _or_) ever, should an adverb stand between
_to_ and the infinitive. I will try _to_ (not _and_) do better next time.
No one can deny _that_ (not _but_) he has money. [Footnote: See foot-note,
