please make sure
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<em> ing.
</em>
Option A does not have the same structure, therefore that is the option that does not fit with the rest.
Words ending in <em>ing </em>can be the following: gerunds, verbal nouns, present participles. In the case of the example we have the ending <em>ing</em> 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.
Um.....where is the question at?
I believe the correct option is B. <span>With multiple steps in the instruction manual, we were unsure of the solution when the wheel detached from the bicycle.
It provides the most details. The steps are not "so many" or "many" as in the other options, but "multiple" - which is more precise, as we know there are few steps, and not hundreds of them. Furthermore, it lets us know there is an instruction manual, and not just any kind of instruction. Also, being unsure of a solution is more specific than just not knowing what to do. Finally, this example specifies the context ("the wheel detached from the bicycle").</span>
