Answer:

The two sentences that correctly use parallel structure are the following ones: "Bernie not only forgot his one-year anniversary with Rachel but also he missed his father's birthday" and "Stan is a voracious reader, an expressive writer, and a skillful painter".

Explanation:

Parallelism, also called parallel structure, is the repetition of a chosen grammatical structure within a sentence. When you use parallel structure, you add clarity to your writing. In the case of the sentences above, parallelism has been created by  means of the use of the cordinating and correlative conjunctions. With the correlative conjunction, the two clauses follow the same grammatical structure (a transitive verb in the past simple tense) and, with the cordinating conjunction, an adjective premodifies each of the coordinated NPs (<u>voracious </u>reader, <u>expressive</u> writer, <u>skillful</u> painter).

The first two are parallel: "Bernie not only forgot <u>his one-year anniversary with Rachel</u> but also <u>he missed his father's birthday</u>." His and the name of a person, as well as their special day, are mentioned in each of the underlined phrases. Although they do not sound the same and may not have the same number of words, the construction of meaning is the same and the number of syllables is roughly the same. In, "Stan is a <u>voracious reader</u>, an <u>expressive writer</u>, and a <u>skillful painter</u>." all the underlined things are exactly two words, a strong adjective, followed by a -er hobby/occupational word. This would be more so the organization of ideas, because each clause has a slightly different meaning due to the different connotations of the adjectives used.

Hope that clears it up for you so that you can do it yourself next time!

What happens at the end of “the chrysanthemums “ that makes elisa sad ?
Usimov [2.4K]
Elisa "cries like an old woman" because she is absolutely crushed because she realizes that she has been duped by the tinker and that he was not interested in her chrysanthemums at all. He had only pretended to be interested in Elisa talking about them in order to get some business from her (some pots to mend). What had been an awakening of emotions for Elisa was now a huge disappointment. Elisa realizes that she simply cannot be anyone different from who she is on her little farm with her husband. She is "trapped" there and will never be able to get her husband to see the aesthetic beauty of her flowers that she loves so much.

Essay on how can I make my school a happy place
Bingel [31]
You can make your school a happy place by helping you teachers out, helping other students if they need help. You can volunteer to help clean up messes so the janitor guy has a little less work which will make him happy. You can do your homework all the time for each subject/class so your teacher will be proud and NOT mad or sad cause you didn't do your work. This is just a little info. You can add more.
