What is the primary purpose of the couplet in this
sonnet?
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
- "Sonnet 100,
William Shakespeare

The answer
All I know is the direct answer and it would be it is different because one is your thought and one if like a document
The correct answer is option 3: "Tonight, Shea read a short story, practiced soccer, and chatted with Betsy". Remember that whenever you need to use parallel structures, you have to use <u>the same tense or word pattern</u>. In option 3, you have three verbs. The three of them are in the past simple tense. Option 1, "Last evening, Shea read "The Necklace", study her physics, and to buy her prom dress" is not grammatically correct. That sentence presents different tenses and the verbs are not well conjugated. Therefore, It is not written in proper parallel structure. Option 2, "Yesterday, Shea bought her dress, had completed her calculus problems, and was talking to Bobby" is not grammatically correct either. Although the sentence is stated in the past, the order of the events is not clear and the verbs do not belong to exactly the same tense. To conclude, option 3 is the only sentence written in proper parallel structure.
