Answer:

Before starting college, Jake learned how to speak Spanish and traveled across South

Parallelism is using the same grammatical structure in a series of phrases or sentences. It is used to help with clarity and can provide emphasis. The only sentence with correct parallel structure is the last one, but even it is not complete. The first sentence is not parallel because the verbs "walks" and "is taking" are not in the same form. The sentence should read "...Sheila either walks home or takes a bus." The second sentence is also not parallel because the verbs "does" and "took" do not have the same structure. The sentence should be "...Jenny does her homework and then takes her dog...". The third sentence is also wrong because the verbs "read" and "watched" have the same structure, but "was playing" does not. The sentence should be "...Shane read a book, watched a movie, and played...".

Which topic would be appropriate for a three-page research paper?
ycow [4]

The correct answer is C. The use of camels as transportation

Explanation:

In writing, one of the most important factors that determine the topic you select is the number of pages you are allowed to write that is linked to how narrow or broad a topic is. In general terms, it is considered a topic is broad when the author will need to add multiple details, information, and pieces of evidence to develop the topic in a complete way, which usually requires at least 5 or 10 pages but can even require more pages and deals with general topic or events. On the other hand, a topic is considered narrow, when it addresses a specific point of a general topic and requires less than 5 pages to be developed.

Considering this, the topic that would be appropriate for a three-page research paper is "the use of camels as transportation in ww1" because this topic does not address a general events such as the world war one or the impact or effects of some event that would require multiple details, but address a specific point which makes it a narrow topic that can be developed using few details and therefore is appropriate for a three-page research paper.
