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>

The father and son were reverse pof what their names suggested
lys-0071 [83]

The names of the father and son did not represent what they really were.

  • Father Subal's name means "strong" and because in reality it did not represent what the father was, because he was already old and weak, that is why he could not do many things and longed to be young again.

  • The son's name Sushil which means "gentle and quiet" did not really represent what the son actually was, as he was very mischievous and liked to cause trouble for the neighbors.

The concern with getting daughters married into good families pervades Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and forms a large part
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Mrs.Bennet is a character and a static one at that, she goes back and forth between liking Mr. Bingley and being over the moon about the appearance of him which just goes to show how absurd she is about the whole thing. "<span>At our time of life it is not so pleasant, I can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but for your sakes, we would do anything." I would think this part of the passage suits the issue quite nicely as she gushes on about how they would do anything to get their daughters married even at their age.</span>
