Which three sentences correctly use parallel structure?

English
1 answer:
lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answers: 1. When things go wrong, Carl tends to brood for hours and to blame others. 3. The school was closed not only because of the snow and ice but also because of the lack of heat. 4. The ice was a greater problem for the electrical power company than for the natural gas company.

Explanation:

Parallel structures in sentences consist of the repetition of a grammatical pattern. This makes sentences have grammatical consistency and flow naturally. Below, I analyze each of the sentences:

1. When things go wrong... This sentence shows parallelism because the elements "to blame others" and "to brood for hours" have the same grammatical structure ( to + verb.)

2. After watching some Tv... This sentence lacks parallelism because the first verbs are in -ing form but the last one "read" does not follow this pattern.

3. The school was closed... This sentence uses parallel structure because it includes the expressions not only/but also (correlative conjunctions) that show grammatical consistency.

4. The ice was a greater problem... This sentence uses the preposition "for" to introduce two different details, which shows a parallel structure.

Answer:

C.) components, or parts, of words.

Explanation:

The word structure in the excerpt refers to the components, or parts, of words. The idea behind Samuel Johnson’s preface to a dictionary of the English language is to help solidify the language of English and prevent it from becoming corrupt. The structure in Samuel Johnson’s excerpt means the components or parts that are used in the arrangements of words and making the words understandable to the reader.

From THE LOVE SONG OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK
harkovskaia [24]

After reading and analyzing the ending of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," we can answer the questions in the following manner:

  • The ending is most likely not real, but a metaphor for his sinking sense of self.
  • It relates to the poem in the sense that Prufrock is unable to live in reality like others. When something wakes him up, brings him back from his mental wanderings, he feels like he has been woken from a spell.
  • The ending is most likely not supposed to make sense, although it does connect to the poem in general. This is all about Prufrock's feelings. Women to him are like the mythological mermaids. They attract him, but he will never have them. Reality to him is as sad as dying.

<h3>What happens in the end of the poem?</h3>

In  "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," the speaker is an introverted man who seems unable to find love. Insecure and shy, he can hardly talk to women. For that reason, he lives more in his own mind than in the read world.

In the end of the poem, Prufrock uses the metaphor of drowning and the allusion to the mermaids as a way to express how he feels. The mermaids are the unattainable women in his life. Drowning represents the sadness he feels when he realizes reality is not as good as his imagination.
