ANSWER:

The newly formed sentence after rewriting it with not only…but also… is ‘I challenge not only the passivity but also the pessimism surrounding our children.’

EXPLANATION:

   While using not only…but also…, we need to focus on parallelism. Parallelism means that the groups of words that follow the words ‘not only’ and ‘but also’ should belong to the same parts of speech.

   In other words, if a verb follows ‘not only’ then a verb must also follow ‘but also’. This will make the sentence balanced.
