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>

In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Wollstonecraft contrasts her logic and reasoning with Rousseau’s work.

Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” is a step towards feminist philosophical work which speaks about the rights that the women have been deprived of. She explains in her work that how men and women are equal and hence should receive equal rights. She puts forward the issues of women as they were not allowed to work and had to be dependent on the male member of the family for their living. Her argument insisted on opening doors for women in the field of politics and medicines.
