Correct the error of faulty parallelism in the following sentence:

English
1 answer:
anastassius [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence and the nation's third president.

Explanation:

Faulty parallelism is also known as a parallel construction error. It occurs in sentences that contain lists, when grammatical structures within a sentence are not parallel. In other words, two or more parts of the sentence might be similar in meaning, but different in form.

In the second part of this sentence - <em>Jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence and he was the nation's third president</em>, 'he was' must be omitted. We already have the verb 'to be' at the beginning of the sentence that serves as an introduction to a list that follows, and encompasses both the phrase <em>'the writer of the declaration of independence</em>' and <em>'the nation's third president.</em>' It is, therefore, not grammatically correct to repeat the subject and the verb once again.
