Question

Which revision corrects the faulty parallelism in the sentence?

Answer 1

The last answer choice because watching can be another word used for the action so you would read each one and see which one makes the most sense

Answer 2

Answer: C) Margot prefers watching a hockey game to watching ice skating performances.

Explanation: parallelism is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the grammatical structure of different words or phrases in a sentence or paragraph, in order to emphasize an idea or to create an impact in the audience. The given sentence contains a faulty parallelism because when saying what she prefers, one element is a noun ("the action") and the other one is a verb ("watching"). The option that corrects this error, is the corresponding to option C, because both elements are now verbs ("watching a hockey game" and "watching ice skating").
