This sentence does not contain the parallel structure.

<span>My sisters always bicker over who gets to drive the car, wear the newest dress, and having the best boyfriend.

</span>Parallel structure<span>  or parallelism is defined as the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence.
</span>
In the above sentence the phrase that should be parallel are "drive the car", "wear the newest dres", and "having the best boyfriend". The usage is inconsistent and it creates confusion. 

The sentence using the correct parallel structure reads like this:

<span>My sisters always bicker over who gets to drive the car, wear the newest dress, and have the best boyfriend.
</span>
"having" is the present participle form of have. The term "have" is used to refer to a possession or belonging.

Match the words below with their correct part of speech by looking at their suffixes. exonerate ? adjective impeccably 2 adverb
Anarel [89]

Answer:

1. Palpable - adjective

2. Impeccably - adverb

3. Deduction - noun

4. Exonerate - verb

Explanation:

1. Palpable - is an intense feeling that is as good as being touched. It is an adjective because it is descriptive.

2. Impeccably- Because of the -ly suffix attached to the root word, impeccable, we can deduce that the word is an adverb that tells us how impeccable or without faults a certain thing is.

3. Deduction - This is a noun because it is the name of a process. Deduction is inference or subtraction as the case may be.

4. Exonerate - This is an act of absolving a person of a fault. A verb is an action word or a doing word.
