"Today was my first time behind the wheel. My father was my instructor for the day, and he picked me up. We were reviewing road

Semmy [17]

This question is incomplete, but I was able to find it online. We are supposed to analyze the following three sentences and decide whether each sentence is written in a parallel structure. If not, we must correct the sentence.

1. We were reviewing road signs and practiced turn signals before we started.

2. I turned on the engine while instructions were muttered by my father.

3. I stepped on the gas, checked my mirror, and crept through the parking lot.

Answer:

1. Change "were reviewing" to "reviewed".

2. Change to "my father muttered instructions".

3. Correct as is.

Explanation:

For a structure to present parallelism, it has to repeat a certain grammatical form inside the sentence. Parallel structures are used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases and make thoughts and ideas easier to understand.

In number 1, we have two different verb tenses expressing actions performed by the same subject in just one sentence. While "were reviewing" is in the Past Continuous, "practiced" is in the Simple Past. The sentence lacks parallelism, but that can be solved if we change "were reviewing" to "reviewed", so that both structures will be in the Simple Past.

In number 2, the same sentence presents a structure in the active voice - I turned on the engine - and another int he passive voice - instructions were muttered by my father. We can make the structures parallel by simply changing the last part to "my father father muttered instructions," so that it can be in the active voice.

Number 3 is correct as is. All the verbs are in the Simple Past, and the structures separated by commas present an action and another piece of information that goes with that action.

A stock character or stereotype is a character type that repeatedly appears in plays. Explain how Maria's character in Twelfth N

Olin [163]

Answer:

Maria is the comedic relief

Explanation:

So after reading the plot a bit, I realized one thing: There is always a comedic relief in a good portion of plays, and Maria is one of them. Maria is smart, witty, and any other simile of intelligent out there. She uses her intelligence to play a few pranks on Malvolio. So obviously, this is going to make the audience laugh at least a little. So thinking about it, Maria is that one class clown in your classroom.

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of this play, so just use this as a little template (since it's nowhere near professional).

3. You cannot eat hot dogs, nor can you eat anything in this area.

5. We had done our chores in the morning and in the evening we want to go to the movies.

6. The children were hungry, but Mother did not allow them to have snacks before dinner.

Explanation:

Compound sentences are those sentences that contain two independent clauses to make a meaningful complete sentence. Even if the sentence are broken into two, both the sentences can stand on its own.

Independent clauses are those clauses that need no addition to be deemed a complete sentence. They are capable of standing on their own.

So, with the addition of new sentences, the whole new compound sentence are as follows-

1. We arrived at the concert early, and we were able to procure the best seats for ourselves.

2. He was a bit late in the start but he won the relay race.

3. You cannot eat hot dogs, nor can you eat anything in this area.

4. We tossed water balloons back and forth, and we also splashed water on each other.

5. We had done our chores in the morning and in the evening we want to go to the movies.

6. The children were hungry, but Mother did not allow them to have snacks before dinner.
