Which sentence contains correct parallel structure?

English
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

At the pre-school, they teach children to speak politely, walk slowly, and act fairly.

Explanation:

Parallelism is when phrases in a sentence have <u>identical</u> grammatical structure.

Three verbs <em>speak, walk, </em>and<em> act</em> are respectively modified by the adverbs <em>politely, slowly, </em>and<em> fairly</em>.  This is correct parallel structure.  

The other sentences use adverbs, adjectives, and even a prepositional phrase to modify verbs. Since the grammatical form of these modifiers is <u>different</u>, the sentences do <u>not</u> contain parallel structure.

Attempting to use luck to do a standing backflip without the hard work it takes to prepare for doing one would be foolish and dangerous.

What is the simple subject and predicate for "Many were sent to prison camps during World War 2."
arlik [135]
The simple subject would definitely be "Many" because these "Many" are the people do something, which leads us to the predicate. The simple predicate would be "were sent" or "sent" because that is what the "Many" were doing (technically they were forced).
