The correct answer is D. During my week at camp, I scaled the climbing wall, built a fort, and jumped on the trampoline.

Explanation:

Parallelism occurs when the same grammatical structure is repeated in a sentence, which creates a parallel relation between different elements in a list as these are presented using the same structure and related to the sentence in the same way. In the case presented that describes the different activities someone did during his or her week at camp a parallel structure implies all the activities are introduced in the sentence using the same grammatical structure, for example, all the activities are presented using gerund (words ending in -ing), infinitive form ( "to" followed by a preposition) or simple past and this structure is the same for all the element during all the sentence. Considering this, the sentences that uses a parallel structure is "During my week at camp, I scaled the climbing wall, built a fort, and jumped on the trampoline" because this is the only sentence that uses the same grammatical structure (simple past followed by an object) to present all the activities or elements in the sentence which is the propose of parallelism.

<span>d. During my week at camp, I scaled the climbing wall, built a fort, and jumped on the trampoline.

Parallelism happens when there is a similar grammatical structure within a sentence or across a group of sentences so that there is a similar sound, meaning, or meter. It is important to use parallelism when listing actions. In sentence D, all of the activities in the list have the same structure. They all begin with a past tense verb (scaled, built, jumped) and end in a noun (wall, fort, trampoline). A is wrong because the first two verbs in the list end in -ing, but sleep does not. I should be: rock-climbing, mountain biking and sleeping. In B the first three verbs are all past tense, but skiing is not. It should be: swam, hiked, biked, skied. C is wrong because the structure is a verb ending with -ing followed by a noun. There is no verb before crafts in the list. It should be: playing soccer, riding mountain bikes, and making crafts. </span>

Which of the following shows the correct parenthetical citation for a quote from page 91 of an article in the October 2002 issue
saw5 [17]
One of the rules in proper parenthetical citation says that when the author of the source is given, it should be written using the author's name and page number. But if without the author's name, the title of the book or article is used as a subsitute, following the page number. Since the name of the author has been mentioned, the correct answer would be, letter A. (Simpson 91)

Which excerpt from Dispatches contains imagery that evokes a sense of helplessness and inevitability?
valina [46]

Exact excerpt is given in the second paragraph. It is the correct answer because it describes the Vietnam war and the excerpt shows how it is inevitable because it would finally happen one day. How people feels about the news creates a visual imagery in the mind of the reader.

No wonder everyone became a luck freak, no wonder you could wake at four in the morning some mornings and know that tomorrow it would finally happen, you could stop worrying about it now and just lie there, sweating in the dampest chill you ever felt.
