Answer:

At the age of 43 he made the decision to jump out of a plane.

The idea scared him but the reward of finally feeling like a real man was worth it. So all geared up away he flew — the plane’s door open during the whole flight.

Trying hard not to gag in front of anyone he approached the door once they were above the clouds.

Don’t think you coward! Just jump! What’s the worst that could happen? Living like this is far worse than the shoot not opening, he thought.

So he jumped and fell towards the Earth at 120 mph.

He felt at peace as he fell. Frantic thoughts did not cross his mind as one might think. Just peace.

When he hit the ground and stood up tears filled his eyes.

He would never be a real man.

That ship sailed long ago.He used a pencil to say goodbye. Maybe that would make it less permanent. Words are only as strong as their intent and he didn’t want to leave.

His parents had once hinted that they knew the truth. But by the end of the day their heads were back in The Good Book — their eyes on everything but him.

So with a whisper he crafted his goodbye on paper.

He made the sentences sharp. His points were daggers. An eraser could make them go away. But he knew his parents wouldn’t see that.

“That’s why I have to go in the first place,” he thought.

And when he took his first step into the world as an honest man he felt fixed.

He’d left the note next to the TV. Burnable, tearable. Eraseable.

Maybe after they did all that, they’d remember he was just their son.

Which sentence uses correct parallel construction?
katovenus [111]
<span> a. You can either talk to the manager about your problem or writing a letter to the president of the company.

- here the correct form would be "or write a letter" - so the whole sentence is incorrect

b. Anyone who is going to work here will have to be athletic, an intelligent person, and have a good sense of humor.

- yes, this one is correct! it doesn't have any mistakes AND it's a parallel construction.

c. Most people enjoy ice cream and the plant grows. - this is not incorrect, but it's a bit weird. plus, it's not a parallel construction

d. The painter wore glasses, gloves, and boots.  - this is correct, but it's not a parallel construction. </span>
