This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
All of the following are parallel in structure with “crying over the loss of my boyfriend” except __________.
A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon
B) texting all of my girl friends
C) eating all the ice cream in the freezer
D) listening to my collection of sad music
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon.
Explanation:
If you pay attention, all the options, including the example, contain verbs ending in<em> ing.
</em>
Option A does not have the same structure, therefore that is the option that does not fit with the rest.
Words ending in <em>ing </em>can be the following: gerunds, verbal nouns, present participles. In the case of the example we have the ending <em>ing</em> used as a gerund, where the verb is used as if it were a noun.
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
<span>Parallel structure is the use of the same pattern of words to show that different ideas have equal importance. An example of this in the Declaration of Independence occurs in the list of grievances against the king. By using "he has..." to begin those items, they gave equal credence to each grievance.</span>
