B. The lovely young ballet company
Explanation:
I will be completly honest! I am horrible at predicates so I looked it up and here is an example off the internet.
Here's an example. In the sentence "The wall is purple," the subject is "wall," the predicate adjective is "purple" and the linking verb is "is." So, it's subject, verb, and predicate adjective.

Explanation:
The author's purpose is to show how the women and blacks have been able to prove wrong the racist and sexist assumptions of the American Aviation by ensuring that they continue to remain relevant in the aviation industry. The sole aim is to prove that performance is not limited by sex or skin color.
The women and African - Americans did not allow the wrong sexist and racist assumptions upon which the American aviation was based to debar them from making their marks in the aviation industry.
This is evident from the author's statements "American aviation was from its very beginnings marred with sexist and racist assumptions" and "...Yet despite these prevailing prejudices, the dream and the desire to fly stayed alive among women and African-

Answer:
A) Change the verbs to be consistent "ran, shopped and ate".
Explanation:
Faulty parallel structure is when there are discrepancies or errors in the form or structure of a sentence. This error can be in the form of tenses or their structuring.
In the given sentence <em>"Last weekend, Constanza ran, went shopping and was eating an apple"</em>, the faulty parallel structure is in the tense. This means that the tenses used for the verbs in the sentence are not the same. Taking into consideration the time frame of the event mentioned, it is an event that was done in the past, "last weekend" which therefore confirms it should be in the past tense. Now, the verbs in the sentence "ran, went shopping, was eating" are not consistent.
So, by changing all of them to the past tense form consistent with "ran", we can <u>change "went shopping" to "shopped" and "was eating" into "ate", meaning from past continuous to simple past.</u>
Thus, the correct answer to fix the faulty parallel structure will be option A.
Answer:
D). The passage fails to make a debatable claim.
Explanation:
The key weakness of the given passage is that 'it fails to establish a debatable claim.' A claim is characterized as debatable when the readers could reasonably argue on different opinions regarding it but here the 'claim regarding the presence of gothic elements' in Hawthorne's 'Scarlett Letter' and Herman Melville's 'Moby-D' is already agreed upon and accepted as a fact. Thus, <u>there remains no point in persuading the readers' to believe in it by comparing the two</u>. Another weakness of this passage is that the evidence presented here fails to support the claim. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
