答案A
解析 All the possible answer choices here use the construction not only ... but also ... We can easily eliminate the choices that use the construction inappropriately. The construction is used appropriately only if what immediately follows not only and but also are grammatically parallel. For example, if what immediately follows not only is an adjectival phrase, then what immediately follows but also must also be an adjectival phrase. If what immediately follows not only is a verb phrase, then what immediately follows but also must also be a verb phrase. And so on. The sentence here correctly uses the not only ... but also ... construction: what immediately follows not only is a verb phrase {disputed the common notion ...), and what immediately follows but also (questioned whether he drank at all) is a verb phrase as well.
A    Correct. This choice uses not only ... but also ... appropriately, employing appropriately parallel structures.
B    This choice does not use not only ... but also ... appropriately, because what immediately follows not only is not grammatically parallel with what immediately follows but only.
C    This choice does not use not only ... but also ... appropriately, because what immediately follows not only is not grammatically parallel with what immediately follows but only.
D    This choice does not use not only ... but also ... appropriately, because what immediately follows not only is not grammatically parallel with what immediately follows but only.
E    This choice does not use not only ... but ,also ... appropriately, because what immediately follows not only is not grammatically parallel with what immediately follows but only.
The correct answer is A.
