................The answer is B
Answer: where is the answer choices
Explanation:
The sentence that shows proper parallel structure is B) Judith dislikes people who are rude, selfish, and self-centered.
It is called parallel structure to <u>the repetition of a grammatical form within the same sentence</u>. In other words, it refers to the use of the same grammatical pattern in order to make the sentence clearer for the reader.
In sentence B) "people" is modified by a defining relative clause ("who are rude, selfish and self-centered"). <u>The defining relative clause includes three adjectives</u> ("rude", "selfish" and "self-centered")<u> and that is what makes the sentence a parallel structure. </u>
<u>Sentence B) is the only sentence where grammatical forms have not been mixed.</u> Sentence A) presents two independent clauses ("Judith dislikes people who are rude, selfish" and "they are self-centered"), which results in the separation of the last adjective and a breakdown in the parallel construction. In sentence C) "self-centered" is premodified by the adverb "very", which also creates a faulty parallelism. Sentence D) does not show a proper parallel structure either since it includes a verb ("act") in the defining relative clause.
