Prince Edward learns numerous things when he is dressed as the pauper in Twain's "The Prince and the Pauper." He learns that what he thought was freedom is actually poverty and neglect from his family, he learns of the hardships that his citizens face due to the injustices of certain laws and he learns the filthy conditions of the nation's prisons.
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 <em>"Last weekend, Constanza ran, went shopping and was eating an apple"</em>, 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 <u>change "went shopping" to "shopped" and "was eating" into "ate", meaning from past continuous to simple past.</u>
Thus, the correct answer to fix the faulty parallel structure will be option A.
The passage supports the main argument because it shows that education will help our future leaders be daring and creative.
