The phrase which must be revised to create parallel structure is, 'To not walk near the quicksand.'

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Parallel structure is a literary device which is often used by writers and poets to create a smooth flow in writing. In parallel structure, same pattern of words are being used to indicate that all the ideas contains the same level of importance.

In the sentence, ‘The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear moccasins, and to not walk near the quicksand’ if we rephrase the last line after conjunction, then the sentence will become a parallel structure.

‘To not walk near the quicksand’ should be rephrased as ‘that he should not walk near the quicksand.’ So the sentence would be ‘The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear moccasins, and that he should not walk near the quicksand.’

Which statement shows bias?
VMariaS [17]

The correct answer is D. It's great that so many young girls can have successful careers as nurses.

Explanation:

Bias statements focus on personal opinions rather than facts or reality. Due to this, a bias statement supports a specific point of view and due to this can be incorrect. An example of a bias statement is " It's great that so many young girls can have successful careers as nurses" because in this sentence the author expresses his point of view about being a nurse. This personal perspective is showed through the word "great". Also, through this statement, the speaker suggests this career is mainly for girls, which is not only a personal opinion but an incorrect statement.
