I really need help with number 5 ^^^

"Today was my first time behind the wheel. My father was my instructor for the day, and he picked me up. We were reviewing road

Semmy [17]

This question is incomplete, but I was able to find it online. We are supposed to analyze the following three sentences and decide whether each sentence is written in a parallel structure. If not, we must correct the sentence.

1. We were reviewing road signs and practiced turn signals before we started.

2. I turned on the engine while instructions were muttered by my father.

3. I stepped on the gas, checked my mirror, and crept through the parking lot.

Answer:

1. Change "were reviewing" to "reviewed".

2. Change to "my father muttered instructions".

3. Correct as is.

Explanation:

For a structure to present parallelism, it has to repeat a certain grammatical form inside the sentence. Parallel structures are used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases and make thoughts and ideas easier to understand.

In number 1, we have two different verb tenses expressing actions performed by the same subject in just one sentence. While "were reviewing" is in the Past Continuous, "practiced" is in the Simple Past. The sentence lacks parallelism, but that can be solved if we change "were reviewing" to "reviewed", so that both structures will be in the Simple Past.

In number 2, the same sentence presents a structure in the active voice - I turned on the engine - and another int he passive voice - instructions were muttered by my father. We can make the structures parallel by simply changing the last part to "my father father muttered instructions," so that it can be in the active voice.

Number 3 is correct as is. All the verbs are in the Simple Past, and the structures separated by commas present an action and another piece of information that goes with that action.

What is the speaker suggesting in the lines below from Walt Whitman's poem

valkas [14]

Answer:

In this passage, Whitman is celebrating how the death and life of his self and his body are interconnected with the natural world.

Explanation:

When we die, the physical substance of the body—literally the molecules of the flesh—rot away to become once again a part of the natural world. But the same thing is true when we are living. We breathe in the molecules of the air, which become a part of us, even as they began as a part of other things. "Song of Myself" is all about these kinds of transcendent connections. Whitman is celebrating his "self" ("I celebrate myself, and sing myself"), but he's doing so by acknowledging the ways his self relies on the forces and energies and bodies of the natural and human worlds around him.

Euchner included the eyewitness of Metal is Jackson.He chooses her because she was a close friend of Martin.

wlad13 [49]

Answer and Explanation:

The sentence shown in the question above represents an anecdote that shows how Euchner chose the witnesses for the trial. Accordingly, we can see that the criteria for this choice were not the best and do not present efficient reasons for it to be promoted. Accordingly, we can infer that Euchner did not have many options to choose from and that few people in the crowd were willing to testify.
