Question

Which of these is not a feature of parallel structure?

Answer 1

C ... Mixing as many forms of words and words endings as possible

Answer 2

Answer:

Mixing as many forms of words and word endings as possible

Explanation:

The parallel structure refers to the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence, often used to show that the ideas are equally important, to give a natural flow to the reading and making thoughts more interesting and easy to understand.

This construction uses word, phrases or clauses that are grammatically similar or identical in structure, therefore, it can create consistency in a series of words and phrases, and "Mixing as many forms of words and word endings as possible" would be the opposite of creating parallel structure.

Examples:

1. I enjoy writing, reading and being alone.

2. The death penalty should be abolished because it is cruel, because it is expensive, and because it does not deter crime.
