Correct Answer: not only cold but also
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
Explanation : The original sentence, "The place was not cold only and also damp," is grammatically incorrect. We would use the correlative conjunctions "not only...but also" to link two similar ideas ("cold" and "damp"). This structure helps to emphasise both qualities of the place.
Therefore, the revised sentence is: "The place was not only cold but also damp."
