Reading good books can help you discover who you are and your values.
Margaret [11]

Parallel grammatical construction form means that each part of a sentence uses the same grammatical structure. It is also known as a balanced structure within one or more sentences of similar phrases or clauses having the same grammatical structure.

These are the Different kinds of parallel structures that we can make:

Synonymous parallel structures occur when the different constructing clauses of a sentence have a similar meaning.

Antithetical parallel structures occur when the different constructing clauses of a sentence have an opposite meaning.

Climatic parallel structures occur when a part of a clause is repeated in subsequent clauses within the sentence.

Emblematic parallelism is etymologically derived from the word emblem, which means "symbol." Parallelism occurs in poetry when lines are intentionally placed together to create comparison, contrast, or enhancement of a meaning.

Synthetic parallelism involves the completion or expansion of the idea of the first part in the second part.

The correct Revision of the faulty parallelism in the sentence is:


C. Reading good books can help you discover <u><em>who you are and what you value. </em></u>

The underlined section is where we find the parallel structure:

who<u> you are</u> = what <u>you value</u>

What does Rainsford do after his "mancatcher" fails?
igomit [66]

Answer:

 

The correct option is A) Runs

Rainsford runs after he discovers that the "mancatcher" failed.

Explanation:

He had been on the run from General Zaroff a hunter per excellence who was very great at spotting difficult trails. A bored hunter who had pretty much exhausted his excitement with hunting animals had turned to hunt men. His excuse? animals only had instinct...men had reason and were much more challenging to hunt.

In the story, he challenges and coerces Rainsford into a hunting game where he must either escape or be killed. The General would have lost if by midnight the third day he had not killed or hunted down Rainsford.

Rainsford, on the other hand, was also a great hunter was doing all he could to stay alive. In the sentence above, he had set several traps. The one referenced above is called "Mancatcher". It was meant for the general but failed to get him. It, however, cut down Ivan - one of the General's most valuable assets. Upon discovery that the "mancatcher" missed the general Rainsford jumped down from the tree and ran into the forest.

Cheers!
