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>

Which is the best example of a plot’s resolution
Tresset [83]

The best example of a plot’s resolution is how a problem is fixed, a conflict is resolved, or a mystery is solved. For example, in Finding Nemo, the plot’s resolution is when Marlin and Nemo finally make it home (not just when Nemo is freed from the dentist office).  A plot’s resolution is the ending, so once the story wraps up or comes to an end, you are able to write/identify the resolution.

How and when does imagination overcome reason?
bonufazy [111]
There are several situations in which imagination can overcome reason.
One of the most common ones are when you're paranoid or you are fearful of something. In this case, your imagination starts creating the worst possible scenarios that can ever occur. However, when going through the situation itself, you will actually find that it is less terrifying than what you imagined and that your were just trapped in your imagination. <span />
