Question

Which sentence uses parallel structure correctly?

Answer 1

Answer

3. ...he has tried creating a great epic novel and composing a long tragic epic.

Parallelism is seen in using the gerunds creating and composing.

Each of these gerunds has an object (novel and epic). Each of the objects has two adjectives to modify it (great epic and long, tragic).

Answer 2

4. "After Ruth receives her monthly paycheck...her credit card bills.”
