The correct answer is option 3: "Tonight, Shea read a short story, practiced soccer, and chatted with Betsy". Remember that whenever you need to use parallel structures, you have to use <u>the same tense or word pattern</u>. In option 3, you have three verbs. The three of them are in the past simple tense. Option 1, "Last evening, Shea read "The Necklace", study her physics, and to buy her prom dress" is not grammatically correct. That sentence presents different tenses and the verbs are not well conjugated. Therefore, It is not written in proper parallel structure. Option 2, "Yesterday, Shea bought her dress, had completed her calculus problems, and was talking to Bobby" is not grammatically correct either. Although the sentence is stated in the past, the order of the events is not clear and the verbs do not belong to exactly the same tense. To conclude, option 3 is the only sentence written in proper parallel structure.

Which of the following statements best describes the central theme of the text?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

C. Unmarried girls should devote themselves to painstakingly caring for their parents and demonstrating great respect for them.

Explanation:

Zhao Ban's poem "On Reverence for Parents" is an extensive expression of how unmarried women must take care of their parents. The poem 'lists' the ways unmarried girls must take care of their parents to be honorable to their ancestors.

In the poem, the speaker begins by saying <em>"Girls not yet gone out from their homes"</em> should take good care to be of servitude to their parents. She details how they must be of 'use' to their parents and help them navigate their lives. This, according to the speaker, is how <em>"[they] can honor [their] ancestors." </em>

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

If you are looking for the entry boasted in the dictionary, which guide words could you find at the top of the page?
nexus9112 [7]
Well it depends on how large the pages are, and how large the printing is. Guide words are the words at the top of the left and right pages that indicate what the first and last word is. For example on the first page (the left) it would have the very first word on that page up top. Then on the second it would have the very last word. So like I said, it depends on how large the print and pages are.
