Read the text and answer question.
Education in a language which is not the first language of the learner is as old as education itself. As individuals from different language groups have lived together, some have been educated in an additional language. This is as true of Ancient Rome as it is of the increasingly multilingual societies being created through mobility and globalization in the 21th century.
Two thousand years ago, provision of an educational curriculum in an additional language happened as the Roman Empire expanded and absorbed Greek territory, language and culture. Families in Rome educated their children in Greek to ensure that they would have access to not only the language, but also the social and professional opportunities it would provide for them in their future lives, including living in Greek-speaking educational communities. This historical experience has been replicated across the world through the centuries, and is now particularly true of the global uptake of English language learning.
Researchers and educators have sought new practices in education that will suit the demands of the present day. Globalization and the forces of economic and social convergence have had a significant impact on who learns which language, at what stage in their development, and in which way. The driving forces for language learning differ according to country and region, but they share the objective of wanting to achieve the best possible results in the shortest time. This need has often dovetailed with the need to adapt content-teaching methodologies so as to raise overall levels of proficiency.

The excerpt from the second paragraph “they would have access to not only the language, but also the social and professional opportunities” displays the use of paired conjunctions. The example with an appropriate use of paired conjunctions in a grammatically correct sentence is found in
- Some snakes use poison in two ways: they either inject it or spit it.
- Not only he is intelligent, but also polite.
- In my spare time, I enjoy both gardening and to create new possibilities for recreation.
- I like to read not only books, but also see the movies based on them.
- The country lane was both narrow and was steep.

Comentário do professor
A alternativa apresenta corretamente a conjunção correlativa either...or, que conecta duas opções equivalentes dentro da oração.
No exemplo they either inject it or spit it há paralelismo: ambos os elementos ligados são verbos na forma base (inject, spit) e compartilham o mesmo sujeito (they) e objeto (it). Essa simetria é essencial para a construção permanecer gramatical e clara.
Além disso, a posição de either antes do primeiro verbo indica que as duas ações são alternativas mutuamente excludentes ou distintas, o que corresponde ao sentido expresso na oração introdutória sobre “duas maneiras”.
