"little brother" has the same meaning as "younger brother", and "handsome" has the same meaning as "good-looking"
It's funny that, handsome was accepted in another sentence for the same word!
If "handsome" wasn't accepted before, it is now in "My younger brother is not only tall, but also handsome."
My younger brother is not only tall, he's also handsome. Was accepted for me. 3/19/19
I thought this site was using 好看 to mean "good-looking" and 帅 as "handsome"... dying over here

The way I see it, 帅 should just be translated as "handsome", since the word 帅 only applies to males. 好看 is "good-looking", since it can be applied to both females and males.
As asked by splashsmash,
Why is "Not only is my little brother tall, but he's also very handsome" wrong?"

Should be accepted. I put "My younger brother not only is tall, ...." and reported as even the slight re-wording was rejected.
I did not get it after several tries. I eventually just copied and pasted the correct message
It really ought to be accepted to simply say "brother". When we get to other relations, I don't imagine we'll be asked to specify "paternal uncle who is younger than my father" as a translation for shu-shu.

'my younger brother is not only tall but handsome' was not accepted, though 'also' can be skipped...

There are other exercises that don't use 很 for adjectives that come after 不但 and 而且. For instance, 他不但帅，而且聪明.
If 很 doesn't mean "very", why is it used in the Chinese sentence?
This is an improper translation and use of the word also. Also is not required... It should be as"My younger brother is tall but he is good looking"
@Mirian - since you are arbitrarily assigning meanings and culling others' vocabulary, I'll pay you the same compliment. Remove "is" and "he" and "ing" from your sentence. It should be "My younger brother tall but he good look" :-) :-)
