The correct answer is C. Cred

Explanation:

In language, the root word refers to the basic unit that forms a word and that can be identified by removing all the suffixes and prefixes in a word that are syllables placed before or after the root word. In the case of the word "incredible" this word means hard to believe and it is composed by the prefix "in-" that means "no", the suffix "-ible" that means "able to" and therefore the root or basic unit of this word is "cred" that derives from a Latin word and means "to believe". Thus, the root of the word or base of this word is "cred".

Which of these is not a feature of parallel structure? Creating consistency in a series of words and phrases Expressing more tha
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: Third option: Mixing as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Explanation:

The question asks us about what is NOT a feature of parallel structures.

Parallel structures ARE used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases. They ARE used to express more than just one idea in a single sentence. They MAKE thoughts more interesting and easy to understand. What parallel structures do NOT do is mix as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Parallelism consists of the repetition of a certain grammatical structure inside a sentence. The purpose of such repetition is to avoid confusion, making the speech clear, interesting, and easy to be understood. Let's compare the following examples:

1. I love watching TV, video games, and to read magazines.

2. I love watching TV, playing video games, and reading magazines.

The first structure does no present parallelism. Instead, the words completing the meaning of the verb "love " are a mix of grammatical forms. Even though this structure is understandable, it demands more from the reader/listener, since there is no pattern to make it easier to understand the meaning.

The second structure is a parallel one, and the words present similar grammatical forms (verb+ing). A pattern is created, making it simpler and more consistent.
