Correct Answer: but hard working
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The structure "Not only... but also" is a correlative conjunction pair used to emphasise two qualities or characteristics, indicating that both qualities are present in the same subject (in this case, the speaker's brother).
The conjunction "but" is used here to show a contrast or addition to the aforementioned quality, creating a balanced and connected sentence structure.
Hence, the sentence after substitution would be: "Not only is my brother intelligent, but hardworking too."
