Answer:
answer is b) the sentence is fine as it is.
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.
