Question

Which sentence best uses parallel structure?

Answer 1

Answer:

Writers use parallel structure in the words and phrases in their sentences. This grammatical form can be used with a variety of structures including infinitives, words, clauses and lists. Parallel structure should be used when you connect clauses with a coordinating conjunction such as: for, and, nor, or, but, so, or yet. Some examples of this include:

Correct: Every morning, we make our bed, eat breakfast and feed the dog.

Incorrect: Every morning, we make our bed, eating breakfast and feed the dog.

Correct: I will not sing a song, nor will I dance.

Incorrect: I will not sing a song, nor dance
