Which sentence is an example of faulty parallelism?

English
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago

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>

Answer:

B. Foreshadowing.

Explanation:

In chapter 1 of Lord of the Flies, when the plane crashes on the unihabited island, Jack, Ralph, and Simon goes to examine the island to know whether the island is truly inhabited or not.

After they get confirmed that the island is unihabited, they have a great jaunt over the granite cliff. While they are having a fun, over the granite cliff, they find a pig caught in the vines. Jacks inability to kill the pig and his vow to kill it next time he sees is an example of foreshadowing.

This foreshadows the death of Simon, who was killed in a zest by the group led by Jack.

Therefore, option B is correct.
