वाक्यांचे विश्लेषण:
•
वाक्य a: *"He not only lost his money but also his luggage"* — चुकीचे. Correlative conjunctions (not only... but also) चे स्थान समांतर (parallel) असले पाहिजे. येथे 'not only' हे 'lost' या क्रियापदापूर्वी न येता 'his money' या नामापूर्वी यायला हवे होते (*He lost not only his money but also his luggage*).
•
वाक्य b: *"As long as you work hard, you will improve"* — बरोबर. अट आणि परिणाम दर्शवणारे हे वाक्य व्याकरणदृष्ट्या पूर्णपणे अचूक आहे.
•
वाक्य c: *"Either the action was just or unjust."* — चुकीचे. 'Either... or' ची रचना समांतर हवी: *The action was either just or unjust.*
•
वाक्य d: *"The choice is between the devil and the deep sea."* — बरोबर. हा इंग्रजीतील प्रमाण वाक्प्रचार (idiom) अचूक वापरला आहे.
त्यामुळे फक्त b आणि d ही वाक्ये बरोबर आहेत.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (3) Only b and d
Explanation:
This question examines parallelism with correlative conjunctions and idiomatic usage.
Detailed Analysis:
•
Sentence a: Incorrect. Correlatives must balance identical syntactic units. 'Not only' mistakenly precedes the verb *lost* while 'but also' precedes the noun phrase *his luggage*. Correct: *He lost not only his money but also his luggage.*
•
Sentence b: Correct. Subordinate clause introduced by 'As long as' is grammatically flawless.
•
Sentence c: Incorrect. Parallelism error. Correct: *The action was either just or unjust.*
•
Sentence d: Correct. Flawless standard idiom (*between the devil and the deep blue sea*).
Therefore, only sentences b and d are grammatically correct.
