This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

All of the following are parallel in structure with “crying over the loss of my boyfriend” except __________.

A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon

B) texting all of my girl friends

C) eating all the ice cream in the freezer

D) listening to my collection of sad music

Answer:

The correct answer is option A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon.

Explanation:

If you pay attention, all the options, including the example, contain verbs ending in ing.

Option A does not have the same structure, therefore that is the option that does not fit with the rest.

Words ending in ing can be the following: gerunds, verbal nouns, present participles. In the case of the example we have the ending ing used as a gerund, where the verb is used as if it were a noun.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.

H.G. Wells . Mrs.Hall says " tis going , it strikes well and hearty. What does the underlined phrase tell about the clock ?

anastassius [24]

Hello. You did not underline any clause in the sentence above, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

If the underlined clause is "tis going" it means that the speaker of the sentence is indicating that the clock is working.

If the underlined clause is "it strikes well and hearty" it means that the watch is working very well, vigorously and correctly. This is because the words used give the feeling of something that is healthy and that has vigor and disposition for any activity.
