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>

Please help me please will give brainliest <br><br><br>short summary ​
Citrus2011 [14]

Summary:

The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. And the rain tapped on the empty house, echoing. At eight-thirty the eggs were shrivelled and the toast was like stone. The five spots of paint - the man, the woman, the children, the ball- remained. It sniffed the air and scratched the kitchen door. Behind the door, the stove was making pancakes which filled the house with a rich baked odour and the scent of maple syrup. In the cellar, the incinerator glowed suddenly and a whirl ofsparks leaped up the chimney. The dinner dishes manipulated like magic tricks, and in the study a click. Dawn showed faintly in the east. Among the ruins, one wallstood alone. Within the wall, a last voice said, over and over again and again, even as the sun rose to shine upon the heaped rubble and steam: "Today is August 5, 2026, today is August 5, 2026, today is..."

Is “unless it was absolutely necessary” an adverb clause?
Artemon [7]

No it is not. It is an adverb phrase since it lacks a subordinating conjunction.

Adverb clauses must be preceded or started by a subordinating conjunction such as after, if, because or although. For a sentence to qualify as an adverb clause it must include in its body a subject and a verb.

As a general rule you can use the following formula:

An adverb clause equals a subordinate conjunction plus a subject plus a verb, and it should be answering how? when? where? or why?
