同位语不用not only...but also

有一读者问: 有这样一道选择题:

Few people realize that Siberia is extremely rich in natural resources,_________oil and gas but also vast resources of coal, timber, land and water.

A. not only B. has

C. has not only D. having not only

答案为D,固然无可非议,但我认为答案A也不错。因为A与其后的一连串名词可用作其前的resources的同位语,不知对否?

应选D。A之所以不妥是因为同位语一般不用not only...but also...。
