the answer of this question is A not C please correct it.

Question:

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

The company hopes to eventually provide Singapore with the second-biggest electric car-sharing service in the world, (second to Paris only).

Options:
A)

second only to Paris

B)

second to only Paris

C)

only second to Paris

D)

No improvement

Solution:

Adverb ‘only’ is used just before the word, which needs to be emphasized. Here the term ‘second to Paris’ has been used and needs to be stressed, so we have to place ‘only’ before it which means ‘only second to Paris’ will be the correct usage for this sentence.
