Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative. Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and ti

me my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing. Nick uses chronological order to relate his narrative. What effect does this have on his arrangement of the plot?

<em />It builds the tension up. He tells us some background knowledge - about all his hard work - so that the reader can connect to the character in this passage. 

Hope that helps!

The correct answer is the following.

When Nick uses chronological order to relate his narrative the effect he has on his narrative is that <em>he involves the reader in the sequence of the actions and this creates interest and somewhat a little bit of tension on the reader side. The reader could be asking itself what he/she would do in a scenario like that. </em>

When Nick reminds all the personal situations he has lived in the farm, makes the reader feel some kind of nostalgy and thinking on what could be Nick’s future in his parents decide to move closer to the grandparents home. An excerpt of the text put it this way: “<em>Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden emotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts”. I</em>t makes the reader follow this dynamic and imagining on the unknown future for Nick.

Which sentence is written correctly in regards to parallel structure?A) Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking,
ivanzaharov [21]

The correct answer is A. Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking.  

Explanation:

In grammar, a parallel structure in one in which there is a repetition of a grammatical structure, this usually implies a list of elements are presented using the same structure and related to the rest of the sentence in the same way which creates a parallel relation between all the elements presented.

In the case of presented, a parallel structure implies all the elements of the list which are sport or activities are presented by using the same grammatical structure which can be done by presenting all the elements using gerunds (verbs ended in -ing) or an infinitive (preposition "to" followed by the verb). Considering this, the only option which follows a parallel structure is "Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking" because all the elements after the colon (:) are presented using gerund grammatical structure which creates a parallel relationship between all the elements.
