Answer:

The narrator sets such demanding goals for Doodle because he wants Doodle to be normal.

Explanation:

"The Scarlet Ibis" is a short story written by James Hurst. The story is about two brothers– Brother and Doodle.

Doodle was an abnormal child in the house, seven years younger than Brother. The narrator puts such demanding goals for Doodle because he wanted to have a normal brother or sibling rather than a brother who is abnormal or crippling. Though the narrator helps Doodle in a way that no one else did, yet this increased his expectation and his high expectation is what led to Doodle's death out of exhaustion.

Which of these is not a feature of parallel structure? Creating consistency in a series of words and phrases Expressing more tha
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: Third option: Mixing as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Explanation:

The question asks us about what is NOT a feature of parallel structures.

Parallel structures ARE used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases. They ARE used to express more than just one idea in a single sentence. They MAKE thoughts more interesting and easy to understand. What parallel structures do NOT do is mix as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Parallelism consists of the repetition of a certain grammatical structure inside a sentence. The purpose of such repetition is to avoid confusion, making the speech clear, interesting, and easy to be understood. Let's compare the following examples:

1. I love watching TV, video games, and to read magazines.

2. I love watching TV, playing video games, and reading magazines.

The first structure does no present parallelism. Instead, the words completing the meaning of the verb "love " are a mix of grammatical forms. Even though this structure is understandable, it demands more from the reader/listener, since there is no pattern to make it easier to understand the meaning.

The second structure is a parallel one, and the words present similar grammatical forms (verb+ing). A pattern is created, making it simpler and more consistent.
