Explanation: your describing whatever your trying to explain (im right i'm in honors so you don't have to worry XD )
In the mid-188’s Walt Whitman was considered a revolutionary because no one had ever written poetry like his before. His poetry was not only “free-verse” instead of a structured, rhymed writing style; it was also about the complexities of personal life, cultural life, and about things previously considered of intimate nature.
This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
All of the following are parallel in structure with “crying over the loss of my boyfriend” except __________.
A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon
B) texting all of my girl friends
C) eating all the ice cream in the freezer
D) listening to my collection of sad music
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon.
Explanation:
If you pay attention, all the options, including the example, contain verbs ending in<em> ing.
</em>
Option A does not have the same structure, therefore that is the option that does not fit with the rest.
Words ending in <em>ing </em>can be the following: gerunds, verbal nouns, present participles. In the case of the example we have the ending <em>ing</em> used as a gerund, where the verb is used as if it were a noun.
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
