并列连词的固定搭配是改错题的重要考点，因此上述搭配必须浑熟于心，
例题：
(1)

应改为：both.
解释：both...and...是固定搭配, 表示两者都, either应与or搭配,表或者
(2)
Providence, Rhode Island, is a busy manufacturing city and seaport, as well the state capital.
应改为：as well as the.
解释：as well as固定词组, 表示也……，as well也有此意, 但只能修饰动词, 多放在句尾
(3)
Too much electric current may flow into a circuit as a result either of a fault in the circuit and of an outside event such as lightning.
应改为：or
解释：either… or…为固定搭配, 表示或者, 或是.
