Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) 1-2-3-4
'Not only' at the start requires inversion of subject and auxiliary, so 'did the mechanic' follows it. Then comes the first action and the 'but also' part, giving the logical sequence 1-2-3-4. Start by finding the subject and the verb, then attach the place, time and manner phrases in their usual order, and finally test the whole sentence by reading it aloud mentally.
