Linking<span> verbs never express action. Instead, they connect the subject of the </span>verb<span> to a noun or an adjective that either renames or describes the noun, pronoun or noun phrase that acts as the subject. From the sentence given, I think there is no linking verb. Hope this helps.</span>
Answer: D)<span> The novel is about a woman who is young, poor, and hardworking.
Definition: F</span>aulty parallelism is a sentence structure in which two or more parts of a sentence are congruent in verb form and/or meaning but contains a verb that is not similar to the tenses of the action words/adjectives.
The sentence given says: The novel is about a woman who is young, poor, and works hard. "Works hard" seems out of place, doesn't it? Well, that's because it is. The correct tense would be "hardworking." Since we know this, the sentence should look like this: <span>The novel is about a woman who is young, poor, and hardworking. And as you can see, it is a replica to Choice D.
Thus, Choice D is your answer. </span>
