A "run home" and "eat dinner" are parallel
igor_vitrenko [27]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The sentence that shows an example of parallel verbs is sentence A.

Explanation:

Sentence A shows an example of parallel verbs because the verbs taken by "had" are both in the infinitive tense (had to run home and eat dinner).  In "Jim had to run home and dinner was ready" (B), the subject of the sentence is the NP Jim and the predicate is "had to run home and dinner was ready". This sentence does not make sense; it would only make sense if there was a comma between "had to run home" and "dinner was ready" to indicate that they are two independent clauses.  The two words next to the coordinating conjunction must belong to the same word category. This is not the case in B as one of them is a verb and the other one is a noun.  In sentence C, there is no parallelism because one of the verbs is the progressive tense and the other one is in the present simple tense (had to be running, eat dinner).  Finally, sentence D has no parallelism because it takes a purpose clause (jim had to run home to eat his dinner).

In paragraph 6, what impact does the phrase "the first one seemed to have drawn all the fire" have on the passage?
scoray [572]

That passage from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's autobiography impacted the passage by,

  • calming the tension that was caused due to the first convention.

This phrase was culled from the autobiography, "80 Years and More: Reminiscences, 1815-1897," by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a pioneer feminist and women's leader in the United States of America.

She mentioned the first time when the Women's Rights Convention was held and how it attracted a lot of attention and backlashes from the press thus making her feel startled and afraid.

However, another convention was organized in Rochester. The reader at this point will be anticipating another backlash, but this was doused when she said that "the first one seemed to have drawn all the fire".

This means that the first one attracted all the attacks leaving little for the second. Thus, the rising tension was quenched.
