Answer:

C. People are more likely to follow those who lead by example, not force.

Explanation:

The story is similar to a morality play, in which it sets up a scenario to give a perspective into real-life behavior and attitudes. Iktomi seems kind of self-important: he "[bosses] the other children around" and his "overpowering personality is disliked by others." He is juxtaposed with another unnamed boy, who apparently taught the children to make snowshoes.

Because the story ends with the other boy getting a leadership position, it is safe to conclude that people are more likely to follow those who lead by example, not force. Iktomi led with force in being bossy and authoritarian, whereas the other boy helped his peers and led by example.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

C. Revising a poem’s ideas and words

Explanation:

This question refers to Mackenzie Connellee's poem "Invitation".

There, the author counters the claim that writing poetry is easy work and gives some examples of the creative process.

In the mentioned lines, the author makes a metaphor about poetry "slopping lazily over the couch of a page" while the author has to "remove its muddy shoes and rearrange the pillows". That means that it takes some hard work and long road from the idea and raw material to the finished poem.

Which is the best way to fix the incorrect parallel structure in the sentence

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

A) Change the verbs to be consistent "ran, shopped and ate".

Explanation:

Faulty parallel structure is when there are discrepancies or errors in the form or structure of a sentence. This error can be in the form of tenses or their structuring.

In the given sentence "Last weekend, Constanza ran, went shopping and was eating an apple", the faulty parallel structure is in the tense. This means that the tenses used for the verbs in the sentence are not the same. Taking into consideration the time frame of the event mentioned, it is an event that was done in the past, "last weekend" which therefore confirms it should be in the past tense. Now, the verbs in the sentence "ran, went shopping, was eating" are not consistent.

So, by changing all of them to the past tense form consistent with "ran", we can change "went shopping" to "shopped" and "was eating" into "ate", meaning from past continuous to simple past.

Thus, the correct answer to fix the faulty parallel structure will be option A.
