The answer to your question would be that the sentence that lacks parallel structure is the following one: I am going to go to the store, shopping for ingredients, then start cooking will begin. That is, your answer would be D.

Parallel structure, aka parallelism, is the repetition of a grammatical structure within a sentence. In D, the speaker states that he/she is going to go to the store, that is, the first verb is "future going to". Therefore, all the other verbs should follow the pattern going to+infinitive. However, this is not the case since one of the verbs is in the present continuous form (shopping) and the other one is followed by another verb phrase (start cooking will begin), making the sentence ungrammatical. For the sentence to be parallel it should be as follows:

a) I am going to go the store, shop for ingredients, then start cooking.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

They need 36 boxes.

Explanation:

First, we need the calculate the sum of the books collected. That means we have 148 + 175 = 323 books in total. Now we have to find the number of boxes needed. Since in each box they can put 9 books, we need to divide the total number of books by the number of books per box.  

So they will need 323 ÷ 9 = 35.9 boxes

Basically this means that they will need 36 boxes although one of them won't be completely filled with books.

Why thami points out that there were many more slaves in Egypt than soldiers<br>​
olga2289 [7]

The reason why Thami points out that there were many more slaves in Egypt than soldiers is to show the cruelty of the Pharoah in his building of the pyramids.

Thami references the building of the pyramids and laments that there are more slaves than there are soldiers in Egypt.

<h3>What is Slavery?</h3>

This refers to the subjugation of a person where he is reduced to a commodity to be bought and sold and used for labor.

Hence, we can see that based on the given poem, there is the narration by Thami about the use of slaves to build the pyramids in Egypt.

This observation also shows that there were many more slaves in Egypt than soldiers and this was to show the cruelty of the Pharoah in his building of the pyramids.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

1. Backstory

2. Poe's technique

Explanation:

<em>1. The usual way how authors create and present their theme in literature is by the use of backstory. By using this technique, author creates a story that at a certain point of the work reveals the past or the future of a story. Thus, it clearly shows the theme of its work. In this way, by having a past or a present imagery that author laid out for you, you can see the author's opinion about many cultural aspects.</em>

<u>Example: Lord Of The Rings</u>

2. <em>Edgar Allan Poe thinks that every work should start with denoument and than work its way back to the causes, effects etc.</em>

<em>By doing this, Poe's stories provide you with the theme of the work at the very beginning and after that the story around that theme is being slowly revealed to you as a reader.</em>

<u>Example: The Fall Of House of Usher</u>
