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.
The correct answer is C. She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help.
Explanation:
In literature, the suspense is a common device used by the author to engage the audience in the story and increase the interest of it. Suspense mainly occurs when the audience or reader wonder about the outcome of events, the following event or the wait events are connected and wait anxiously to know it, because of this, the author of a text can create suspense by using a slow pace in the text, provide only limited information, present the outcome first without the background or use dilemmas.
Considering this, in the case presented the author can create suspense if she starts with the last sentence, because this would make the audience wonder about why the narrator is helping Grandma June and why this seems quite important for the narrator, which means the author could build suspense by presenting the outcome and not providing the background information. Thus, if Lucy wants to create more suspense "She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help".
