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.

In "the wife of bath's prologue" the friar complains about the wife of bath's long, rambling preamble. How effective is she at n
Gre4nikov [31]

"The Wife of Bath's Prologue" is a part of <em>The Canterbury Tales</em> in which a female character tells us about marriage, a topic that, according to her, she is an expert on, as she has been remarried five times. The widow differs considerably from the ideal woman of medieval times. However, she is aware of it and she tries to justify her actions in the Preamble.

The speech is extremely long. It serves more as an autobiography, or a collection of musings. The prologue, in fact, is twice as long as the tale itself. However, once she has finished her preamble, she is very effective at telling her tale. In fact, the preamble and the tale complement each other, as the preamble sets the stage for the tale to be able to question issues of marriage, sexuality and gender inequality that are present in the tale.
