Which sentence is an example of faulty parallelism?

English
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: A Turning sharply, gaining momentum, and to gently rise are a few surfing maneuvers.

Parallelism is the use of elements that are grammatically the same, or similar in their construction or meaning. It is used to add rhythm to a sentence, increase clarity and make it more persuasive.

In this case, "turning sharply" and "gaining momentum" are both written in a progressive tense to make them into nouns, while "to gently rise" is using an infinitive. The correct version would be:

<em>Turning sharply, gaining momentum, and gently rising are a few surfing maneuvers. </em>

Can i please get help for both these questions 1. Compare and contrast the conflicts faced by Orwell in “Shooting an Elephant” t
Vesna [10]
I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.

<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.

"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant. 

Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in.  </span>

A flagged word is one that is misspelled. (Points : 2) True False
Nastasia [14]
I think the correct answer is false. A flagged word is not the one that is misspelled. It does not necessarily indicate a misspelled word. It just means that the word is not in  the dictionary. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

What is the author’s purpose in a work of nonfiction?
motikmotik

The correct answer is "the universal topic". Universal topics are non specific themes which can be the main focus of an essay for example, "food", "animals", "friendship", "love", among other. Nonfictional works could be focused of any universal topic, and the author's purpose by writing the work is to elaborate in this topic with her or his readers.
