the sentence would be -- they have troubled us not only with us with their erratic behaviour but also with unnecessary disturbances.

Question:
DIRECTIONS: A sentence/a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part at (A), (B), (C) which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. 
They have not only troubled us with their erratic behaviours but also with unnecessary disturbances.
Options:
A) not only troubled us by 
B) No improvement 
C) troubled us not only with  
D) troubled not only to us with  
Solution:
Ans: (c) 'troubled us not only with' should replace the underlined part. While using the 'not only – but also' pair, parallelism should be the goal i.e  both the parts after 'not only' and 'but also' should belong to the same parts of the speech.
