Answer: Margot prefers watching a hockey game to watching ice skating performances.

Explanation:

Parallel structures require both sides of the parallelism to have equal structures . Both elements connected by the preposition to must be of identical grammatical function.

In the case of  <em>Margot prefers watching active hockey games to the boredom of ice skating performanc</em>e. Watching active hockey is a gerund-phrase and on the other side of to there is boredom of ice skating which is a phrase headed by an abstract noun.The same issue is repeated in <em>Margot doesn’t like watching ice skating performances but hockey games</em>.Here but coordinates but the two sides hold different structures.

In conclusion, Margot prefers watching a hockey game<u> to</u> watching ice skating performances is the correct version since there are two gerund phrases on each side of TO.

Select the correct answer. Based on structural elements, what type of expository text does this excerpt from a 1917 Congressiona
Savatey [412]

The correct answer is A. persuasive essay.

Indeed, Wilson had sent a series of messages to Congress in order to persuade them to declare War on Germany and the Central Powers. It is a clear utilization of Pathos as he dismisses the idea that the war is being waged due to conflicting European imperial interests but due to the “savagery” of Germans. Historically speaking he was alluding to the decision of Germany to resume its U-Boat war against neutral civilian passenger ships. He is using relatable, emotional arguments to Congress and Americans who would be horrified if their own “men, women and children” were the victims of German “wholesome destruction”.
