Which of these endings will not create parallel structure for the following sentence stem?

English

WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

The correct answer is C. Thought about the book

Explanation:

A parallel structure refers to a type of grammatical structure in which elements of the same importance are presented using the same grammatical form or pattern in a sentence. In the sentence stem presented "He was sitting, reading, and..." there is a repetition "-ing" or gerund forms and therefore parallelism can be created if the last element includes this grammatical pattern. This means, adding planning, considering or eating would create parallelism, but adding a "thought about the book" does not create parallelism because this breaks with the repetition of the same grammatical structure that is necessary for parallelism.

What is the order events The Night Face Up?​
MrRa [10]

Answer:

A juxtaposition of reality and dream sequences begin when the protagonist is hospitalized after a motorcycle accident. Asleep after surgery, he dreams that he is in flight from the Aztecs in a ritual war and must stay on a trail known only to the Motecas. He wakes, thirsty and feverish, to find his arm in a plaster cast. He eats and sleeps once more, dreaming this time that he is off the trail. He grasps his amulet and prays, but is captured. Awake again in the hospital, he thinks of the strange, almost infinite, loss of consciousness he had experienced after his accident. Dozing, he awakens this time pinned to the ground by ropes. His amulet is gone. He knows he will be sacrificed and the priests carry him away. He awakens one last time, but this reality quickly merges with the dream. The priest is coming toward him with the stone knife, and he realizes that he is not going to awaken; that he is awake, and that it is the other consciousness which was a dream.

Why keeping the streets clean is so important , want a detailed , response
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

It is very important to keep streets clean as we should keep our surroundings clean.

Explanation:

  1. We should be careful not to make our surroundings dirty as that will harm us. it pollutes the air and water nearby.  The garbage may also flow into drain holes and cause blockage of drains. Animals may die if they eat the things. they release bad smells which is very troubling for the people passing by. also, mosquitoes and other pests can breed and cause diseases like malaria. instead we should plant trees, throw waste in dustbins and live a sustainable life. young people can reuse plastic bags again and again. natural waste can be made to compost and put to the plants. try becoming creative with your trash instead of just throwing it out. plant some herbs in your bottles and use it for cooking, make art pieces using some items etc. "If you can't clean your surrounding, then don't make it dirty"
