"Today was my first time behind the wheel. My father was my instructor for the day, and he picked me up. We were reviewing road

Semmy [17]

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:

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.

In number 1, we have two different verb tenses expressing actions performed by the same subject in just one sentence. While "were reviewing" is in the Past Continuous, "practiced" is in the Simple Past. The sentence lacks parallelism, but that can be solved if we change "were reviewing" to "reviewed", so that both structures will be in the Simple Past.

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. We can make the structures parallel by simply changing the last part to "my father father muttered instructions," so that it can be in the active voice.

Number 3 is correct as is. 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.

Which of these sentences contains an oxymoron?

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

An oxymoron is a figure of speech that relates two contradictory ideas together, like falsely true or deafening silence

In this sentence, Mr. Keynes is taking work vacation. This is contradictory because a vacation is taken in order to leave work. Therefore the oxymoron is that he is doing work during his vacation.

Adult characters play an important part in shaping the world of the play in which Romeo and Juliet’s relationship must function.

alexandr402 [8]

The nurse helps Romeo and Juliet's relationship because she acts as a confidante for Juliet, one of the very few people who actually knows that they are together. After they meet, the Nurse goes on an errand to make the wedding arrangements with Romeo. She appears in the street and he lets her know when to be at the Friar's for the wedding. She says "This afternoon, sir? well, she shall be there." This plotting continues when she relays the news to Juliet, saying "Then hie you hence to Friar Laurence' cell;
There stays a husband to make you a wife."

The Nurse also makes it possible for them to see each other even after Romeo has been banished. When Romeo is hiding in Friar Laurence's chambers, the Nurse comes in with a ring for Romeo from Juliet, showing that she still wants to see him. She says "Here, sir, a ring she bid me give you, sir: Hie you, make haste, for it grows very late." This is in reference to the plan they have just made for Romeo to sneak into Juliet's chambers for one last visit before he has to go to Mantua. Her interactions with both Romeo and Juliet, helping them get together, get married, and see each other is part of the reason they are able to do all of those things.
