The correct answer is D. it uses imperfect coordinating structure.


Parallelism refers to the use of the same word form throughout a particular sentence. So, in the example above, in order to achieve parallelism, we would need to change the word 'vacuuming' into 'to vacuum,' in order to keep the consistency with the other two verbs: 'to dust' and '(to) straighten up.'

The correct answer is letter D. <span>uses imperfect coordinating structure.

From the sentence,
"</span><span>Not only vacuuming, but the family wants to dust and straighten up the whole house."

This should be written as 
Not only vacuuming, but also the family wants dusting and straightening up the whole house.</span>

dybincka [34]

Answer:

1. Narrative pattern

2. Definition pattern

3. Process pattern

4. Argument pattern

5. Cause and effect pattern

6. Compare and contrast pattern

7. Description pattern

8. Classification pattern

9. Examples pattern.

Explanation:

A paragraph is a collection of sentences that have a central idea.

A paragraph pattern has to do with the way the paragraph is arranged.

Narrative pattern has to do with writing about a central theme in a chronological order. First person pronouns like "My", "I", etc are usually used.

Definition pattern as the name suggests are paragraphs that are written to provide definition of words

Process pattern gives description or instructions on how to perform a particular task. It is usually in chronological order.

Argument pattern is written to sway opinion or to persuade readers about something.

Cause and effect pattern focuses on either a cause or effect of something. For example, when the central idea has a cause, then the supporting points will give the effects of the cause and vice versa.

Compare and contrast pattern deals with comparisons in order to show similarities.

Description pattern simply describes relationship between living and non living things.

Classification pattern simply assigns categories to its structure and is quite similar to compare and contrast.

Examples pattern is used when there is a list of facts or examples to illustrate a point.
