Answer:

The correct answer is:

c. Joe will go running, biking and hunting

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel construction or parallelism or parallel structure is a style used in writing a sentence, where there is a balance in phrases or clauses within one or more sentences by them having the same grammatical structure. parallelism adds elegance, clarity and symmetry to sentences. It essentially has to so with a repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence.

In our example:

a.  Jim likes to hunt, bike, and throwing darts. (not parallel)

    Jim likes to hunt, bike, and throw darts (parallel)

The verbs, hunt, bike and throw must be in the same form (present continuous) to be parallel

b. Mimie has to study, drive her sister to the store, and enjoy herself in the garden. (not parallel).

The sentence in option b is not parallel because the other actions apart from "study" have a place where they took place; drive her sister to the store, enjoy herself in the garden, however, "study" doesn't have a place where the action occurs.

c. Jane will throw a ball, then she will mow the lawn. (not parallel)

the sentence is not parallel because there is an inconsistency in the pattern of the construct. a parallel version is:

Jane will first throw a ball, then she will mow the lawn, or

jane will throw a ball and mow the lawn.

d. Joe will go running, biking, and hunting. (parallel)

all the verbs are in the present continuous form.

Answer:

  • FD and FG
  • vertices

Step-by-step explanation:

For this construction, you want to mark off the distance BC on two segments that are perpendicular to each other. A suitable pair of such segments is FD and FG.

The arcs intersect those segments at points that will become the vertices of the new triangle. Connecting those points will form the hypotenuse of the new triangle. The legs are already drawn as part of segments FD and FG.

If the scores per round of golfers on the PGA tour are approximately normally distributed with mean 69.3 and standard deviation
shusha [124]

Answer:

0.6069

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an approximately normal distribution:

Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Mean = 69.3 ; Standard deviation = 2.58

For :

P(x < 70)

Z = (70 - 69.3) / 2.58

Z = 0.7 / 2.58

Z = 0.2713

P(Z < 0.2713) = 0.6069
