Which sentences have incorrect parallel structure? House Un-American Activities Committee The House Un-American Activities Commi

ttee (HUAC) was an investigative committee of the U.S. Congress. Created in 1938, the committee investigated questionable activity and if people were disloyal to the United States. During the Cold War, the HUAC became a permanent committee. Its goal was to investigate suspected communists within the U.S. In 1947, the committee held nine days of hearings to investigate communist influence in the Hollywood film industry. The committee believed that some American artists were communists. The list of suspected people became known as the "Hollywood blacklist." One of the most famous hearings held by the HUAC involved Whittaker Chambers and Alger Hiss. Chambers, a senior editor of Time magazine, had once been a member of the Communist Party and a Soviet spy. Chambers testified before the HUAC against Hiss and claiming that Hiss belonged to an underground communist organization. Hiss denied the charges against him, but the committee found him guilty of perjury. The committee was unable to convict him for espionage because the statute of limitations had expired.

Parallel structure means using a similar form or pattern of words to balance sentences.  

This sentence does not have parallel structure:  

Created in 1938, the committee investigated questionable activity and if people were disloyal to the United States.  

The structure should be the same on both sides of the conjunction and, which is not seen with the phrases "questionable activity " and "if people were disloyal to the United States." The sentence should be written this way:  

Created in 1938, the committee investigated questionable activity and people believed to be disloyal to the United States.

The nouns activity and people are now parallel.

This sentence isn't parallel in structure because the verb form is different across the sentence:  

Chambers testified before the HUAC against Hiss and claiming that Hiss belonged to an underground communist organization.  

This sentence can be made parallel if it is written as follows:  

Chambers testified before the HUAC against Hiss and claimed that Hiss belonged to an underground communist organization.  

The verbs testified and claimed are now parallel.

1. What source information should you include on your note cards?
kow [346]
D. All of these things.
if the note cards are for citations or sources, then each element is needed.

For example: when citing a physical copy of a book (in MLA format at least) it’s important you include all relevant information. It would look like this: Author last name, First name. Title of Book/Magazine. Publisher, Publication Year. Print.

The US government has the power to transform the lives of young people, yet people under the age of 18 cannot vote. Write an ess
frosja888 [35]

Answer is given below

Explanation:

  • Although the U.S. government can intervene in our lives at all ages, we are not allowed to elect our governors before the age of 18.  the explanation for this is that voting and the election of governors are a very important and important moment for our society.
  • It is important for every person to have political and social maturity so that they can understand the political conditions of the country, the importance of voting and the consequences.
  • Although there are some exceptions, most do not have this maturity before the age of 18 because these individuals have other preferences that are not directly related to politics. In this case, it is believed that it is easy to persuade and influence individuals under the age of 18 to vote for their interests.
  • Therefore, we can conclude that even if the government ever intervenes in our lives, some degree of knowledge and intellectual and political maturity is important for voting.
