Upstream Proficiency by Virginia Evans and Jenny Dooley.

The task was: The following sentences contain mistakes. Find them and correct them.

Not only she won the race, she also broke the world record.


The answer key:

But inversion is not obligatory. It is optional. Is the sentence really erroneous? The question is not whether it more pleasant to hear. The question is whether it is grammatically correct or not.

Could you help me with this?

Inversion is obligatory. The sentence begins with a negative phrase.
