The sentence “Carl, you both lie and act like a terrific monster!" my little brother declared” does not use parallel structure correctly.

 

Parallel structure<span> <span>(also called parallelism) is the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. By making each compared item or idea in your sentence follow the same grammatical pattern, you create a </span>parallel<span> construction.</span></span>

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Alisiya [41]

"The Landlady" by Roald Dahl is a story that has a weird unusual hobby of taxidermy. She stuffs dead corpses. This hobby of her and how she deals with death is absolutely scary, at the same time interesting for readers to know her intentions behind it.

Explanation:

Billy, another main character of this story, is 17 and is annoyed by the acts of the Landlady. He thinks her to be odd and manner less as she keeps touching his hands and shoulders while talking to him. Her compliments on his appearance make Billy feel very uncomfortable, every time they have a conversation.

When the story progresses and readers get to know that the Landlady stuffed her dead pets in a briefcase and does the same with human bodies too, readers along with Billy start wondering about what kind of a sinister this woman is. She finally murders both other boys and stuff them like she did with the pets, at the end of the story.

Which detail supports the inference that Holmes believes in the importance of reliable alliances when solving mysteries?
Sidana [21]

"Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Best of Sherlock Holmes" is a set of recounts about some of the most iconic cases that were solved by Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is obsessed with ascertaining the truth, and while his personality does not lend to partnership, he realizes that reliable alliances are crucial to his ability to uncover clues which he otherwise would not be able to obtain on his own.

In this one “A Scandal in Bohemia,” Holmes employs his most consistent partner, Dr. Watson. After entering Irene Adler’s house, he signals to Watson to drop in a smoke rocket through the window which allows him to determine Adler’s most prized possession which she reaches for when she believes a fire has started.

In “The Man with the Twisted Lip,” Watson finds that Holmes disguised in an opium den.

Something important to highlight is that Holmes understands that he cannot always form alliances with his detective identity and he must utilize disguises in order to gain the trust of others.

These are the alliances that are not always in a human form. In “The Adventure of Silver Blaze,” the case is broken open when Holmes realizes that the only reason the dog would not bark in the night is if the dog recognized the perpetrator, which immediately drastically narrows the suspect pool. In other cases, Holmes uses a hound in order to track scents.

Hope this helps.
