Cevap

not only on highlighting the work of underrepresented regional artists but also on displaying
The correct option maintains parallel structure by matching the prepositional gerund phrase 'on highlighting' with a corresponding prepositional gerund phrase 'on displaying' after the correlative conjunctions 'not only' and 'but also'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the correlative conjunction structure and the elements being joined.
The sentence uses 'not only... but also' to join two descriptions of what the exhibition will focus on.
Parallel structure requires that items connected by correlative conjunctions share the same grammatical form.
2
Determine the grammatical form of the first element.
The first element is the prepositional phrase 'on highlighting the work of underrepresented regional artists', where 'highlighting' is a gerund.
Knowing the form of the first element determines the required form for the second element to achieve parallelism.
3
Evaluate the second element in the options to find the matching grammatical form.
The phrase 'on displaying contemporary sculpture' uses the same prepositional gerund phrase structure ('on' followed by a gerund).
Matching 'on highlighting' with 'on displaying' establishes correct parallel structure.
