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:
<u>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.</u>
<u>In number 1, we have two different verb tenses expressing actions performed by the same subject in just one sentence.</u> While "were reviewing" is in the Past Continuous, "practiced" is in the Simple Past. The sentence lacks parallelism, but <u>that can be solved if we change "were reviewing" to "reviewed", so that both structures will be in the Simple Past.</u>
<u>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.</u> We can make the structures parallel by simply <u>changing the last part to "my father father muttered instructions," so that it can be in the active voice.</u>
<u>Number 3 is correct as is.</u> 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.

i would like to play soccer for PSG. i want to choose this career path because ive worked on it from the time i was 3 years old. i still love the sport so much, and for the rest of my life, if i make it or not, i will find a way to be involved in the sport. when i retire i am going to spread awareness for poor youth coaching, and toxic teams because when i was 8 i played for a club with a coach who would use verbally abuse me.

Answer:
Here is an example and you can just change the words:
"I can’t ever know what flowers they gave her,
on that brittle coffin,
Because those flowers belonged in the garden she made,
(That after they let grow wild and seething)
And kept in her eyes was a kindness worth more than what fate gave her,
That broken body, untrustworthy spine
And I hope she looked through her garden
One last time
Before they gave her to the roots"
When we read books, the stories in them transport us from the world we are in to the world within the pages of the book. To be transported by a book requires the reader to have an emotional response to the book, to visualise the story and eventually, become immersed in it. As a reader, I consider myself lucky to have read several books that have made me lose awareness of my existing surroundings and drawn me into the story unravelling in the book.
“There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.” – J.K. Rowling
When I think of being transported by a book, a recent incident comes to my mind. On a winter morning, I had boarded a train to Furkating, a small town in Assam. It was a bleak morning and the sun was a pale yellow, melting into a silver sky. In a compartment colder than December, I sat tucked in my winter clothes amidst rows of filled seats. As the train started with a jolt, I brought out a book from my overstuffed handbag and started reading the first chapter.
Soon, I was deeply engrossed in the story and before I knew it half an hour had passed… The train was starting to slow down as we had reached a station; on a cemented slab in yellow, the letters read ‘Panbari’. Some of the seats in front of me that were previously filled now lay empty. Two of the solo passengers who sat ahead of me had struck up a conversation about the weather in Dimapur – probably the place they were heading to. The winter sun was now splattered across the sky and shining over thatched-roof villages that we were fast leaving behind as the train gained momentum.
Mary Balogh describes it perfectly, “Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? I know I have. And I think that’s why historical romance is so appealing. That experience of being so immersed in the story that it feels like you’re really there: strolling along in a moonlit rose garden with a duke, or taking tea in a lady’s finely appointed drawing room. And if you’re the adventurous type (like me), perhaps you find yourself riding on a cable car in San Francisco, or exploring the canals of Venice in a gondola. Whatever the tale, these new experiences are just waiting to be discovered; beckoning you, enticing you, entreating you to pause, to sit down and to spend time between the pages of a good book.”
