1. The correct correlative conjunctions to complete the sentences are:
- "not only... but also"
- "either... or"
- "neither... nor"
- "both... and"
- "whether... or"
2. The sentences should be completed as follows:
- "She is not only intelligent but also hardworking."
- "You can either go to the park or stay at home."
- "He is neither tall nor strong."
- "Both the cat and the dog are playing."
- "I don't know whether he will come or not."
3. Explanation: Correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that work together to connect parts of a sentence. Each pair has a specific function. "Not only... but also" emphasizes two positive qualities. "Either... or" presents two alternatives. "Neither... nor" indicates two negative options. "Both... and" connects two positive elements. "Whether... or" introduces a choice between two possibilities.
