The correct answer is the following: <em>option A. The error that is made in the sentence showed in the question is that the sentence lacks parallelism.</em> Parallelism is a grammatical construction used to balance nouns with nouns, participles with participles, infinitives with infinitives, clauses with clauses, in order to promote clarity and readability to any text.

In the sentence "Either do well in school or giving up the drums" the writer did not use parallelism and as a result, the sentence is not clear enough. The proper way to write such sentence would be: Either do well in school or give up the drums, so that there is a balance between the tense of the verb used within the sentence.

Answer:

The feature of this excerpt that makes it a blank verse is:

B. It has iambic pentameter.

Explanation:

<u>A poem written in blank verse will not have a rhyming scheme. However, it will have regular metrical lines. It does not have to be iambic pentameter, as is the case here. The author can choose any type of meter and maintain it throughout the poem.</u> Among the options provided, we can eliminate letter A, since we already know blank verse does not rhyme. Letters C and D focus on things that are completely unrelated to blank verse, since it is not about the language or the theme. Therefore, the best option is letter B. It has iambic pentameter, because is shows the meter chosen by this author. Take a look at the lines below:
