Which sentence is an example of faulty parallelism?

English
1 answer:
Allisa [31]2 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>

What does the word "antediluvian" mean??
irakobra [83]
Antediluvian is an adjective and has two meanings:
1) of or belonging to the time before the Biblical flood
2) Ridiculously old fashioned or greatly out of date  (sometimes used in a humorous sense)
Here, I'll use it in a sentence: 

I often feel my mother wears clothes that are so antediluvian, she never has to worry about blending in with the crowds.

<span>As soon as the latest iPhone came out, the older models became antediluvian to tech experts.
</span>
Hope this helped! :)
