The correct answer is D. The teacher told Harrison that he needed to find a new topic, do better research, and start citing sources correctly.

Explanation:

A parallel structure is the repetition of a grammatical pattern or structure  in a sentence, this usually means a list of element relates in the same way to other elements in a sentence which creates a parallel or equal relationship  that shows all the elements have the same level of importance as these are introduced using the same grammatical structure. In the case of the sentence "The teacher told Harrison that he needed to find a new topic, do better research, and start citing sources correctly" the elements of the list are "to find a new topic, do better research, and start citing sources correctly" and each of them has a different grammar structure as the first one uses an infinitive "to find", the second one introduces the verb directly "do" and the third one uses two verbs "start citing"  this means there is no repetition of grammar structures in the sentence and therefore there is not a parallel structure in this sentence. Thus, sentence D is the sentence that does not use a parallel structure correctly as each element is introduced using a different grammatical structure which is the opposite to parallel structures.

Which sentence belongs in an objective summary of Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Third Option: Anne Frank and her family go into hiding in the cramped attic of a warehouse for two agonizing years to escape the horrors of Nazi occupation in Amsterdam.

Explanation:

Objective means something which is tangible, measurable, and concrete. If statement(s) includes something which is based on perceptions, interpretations, emotions opinions etc., it will become subjective.

First statement has many subjective phrases, e.g <em>timeless story, perceptive recounting, living in hiding</em> (with no mention of place). So, it is subjective statement and not objective.

Second option has subjective phrases e.g <em>unusual insight</em><em>, </em><em>thoughts and experiences.</em>

Fourth option has subjective phrases e.g <em>thoughts and experiences,  living in hiding (with no mention of place)</em>.

Third option had no subjective phrases and everything/fact told is objective i.e <em>Anne Frank and her family, cramped attic of a warehouse,  for two agonizing years</em>. So, this option is correct as objective summary.

Harrizon [31]

The main character is the girl ( the salesman could be considered one too but since you said character not characters its most probs the girl). The story takes place mostly at the store since thats her destination, the place where she forgot the money, and the place that had sympathy on her when she did (basically where all the events took place). Finally, the information that makes the readers want to continue reading is perhaps the fact that she will pay the store back  which sort of already develops a plot for the next bit.
