  5. Sorry Aziz,
    The best answer is C.Choice C correctly develops the parallel not only… but also…….

  6. V Pat says:

    C. with a keen eye not only to using proven methods, but also to developing new and innovative techniques.

  7. Aziz says:

    thanks admin

  8. Yogi says:

    to using.. in C doesnt seem correct to me.
    Please guide.

  9. ABP says:

    I do not think C is correct either…”to using” is against basic grammar rules. Take GMAT team…plz clarify..

  10. Sarva says:

    Same here. In C ‘to using’ does not seem grammatically right. I would choose option B, which looks best. Take GMAT team..Please clarify.

  11. ABP says:

    SARVA..B also has “to developing”./…all options seem to be wrong…TAKE GMAT TEAM please clarify…this is completely misleading

  12. Latha says:

    In GMAT, we have to choose the best answer not the right answer.
    Hence, I think the answer is C.

  13. deepak says:

    Ans for the above q is C

  14. Vamsi Krishna Kanuri says:

    C

    Reasoning:

    This is a most common construct among the many GMAT questions that I have seen over couple of months. “Not Only…. But also” is the trick here.. Needless to explain, there is no other ans choice using this construct.

  15. kapil says:

    its definitely C

  16. jaspreet says:

    C

  17. Vijay says:

    I would still go with B…can some pls give an explanation as to why B is wrong.
    In C I do not find the wordings correct..I feel “not only” has been displaced a bit

  18. kuki says:

    C is the correct answer . The option C makes use of construct “not only.. but also” ,which is correct on GMAT .

    To me , Option B seems to be wrong .

    Since “and” is used we can try separating these as :

    There are any number of skilled freelancers who can develop strategy and create marketing materials with a keen eye for using proven methods

    There are any number of skilled freelancers who can develop strategy and create marketing materials with a keen eye to developing new and innovative techniques

    Now since “with a keen eye” is associated with both these sentences , it should have either a “for” at both places or an infintive “to”.
    Option B uses both “for” and “to” which is incorrect
    Option C solves this problem by using “to” at both places.
    These are just my views.I may be wrong.
    Take GMAT team please guide.
