Question

The following brief outline is an example of parallel structure, which is often recommended when developing an outline.

Answer 1

This statement is false!!!

Answer 2

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

In outlines and writing, parallelism implies using the same grammatical structure to write elements of the same importance, which facilitates the process of writing and also makes easier for the reader to understand a set of ideas. In the outline presented, there is a repetition of a grammatical structure in point i. and ii. as the author uses two verbs separated by the conjunction "or" as in "define or analyze" and "compare or contrast" however, this pattern is not continued in the third point in which the author uses a verb ending in -ing "presenting". Therefore, this outline does not show a parallel structure because all the elements are not presented using the same structure and therefore it is False this is an example of parallel structure recommended in outlines.
