Which is the best way to fix the incorrect parallel structure in the sentence

English

Answer:

A) Change the verbs to be consistent "ran, shopped and ate".

Explanation:

Faulty parallel structure is when there are discrepancies or errors in the form or structure of a sentence. This error can be in the form of tenses or their structuring.

In the given sentence <em>"Last weekend, Constanza ran, went shopping and was eating an apple"</em>, the faulty parallel structure is in the tense. This means that the tenses used for the verbs in the sentence are not the same. Taking into consideration the time frame of the event mentioned, it is an event that was done in the past, "last weekend" which therefore confirms it should be in the past tense. Now, the verbs in the sentence "ran, went shopping, was eating" are not consistent.

So, by changing all of them to the past tense form consistent with "ran", we can <u>change "went shopping" to "shopped" and "was eating" into "ate", meaning from past continuous to simple past.</u>

Thus, the correct answer to fix the faulty parallel structure will be option A.

PART A

The line suggests <em>B. The frog can jump a great distance.</em>

The line does not suggest that:

  • The frog leaps farther than other animals
  • The frog wins more bets than others
  • Smiley has developed overconfidence in the frog's ability.

PART B

The words used by Smiley affects the story <em>C. using dialect to make the characters more relatable to the reader.</em>

The words do not:

  • Foreshadow the frog's role in the story's outcome
  • Highlight Smiley's dependence on the frog
  • Use exaggeration to create humor.

Thus, <em>"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" by Mark Twain</em> details the story of deceitfulness and being outsmarted by a stranger.

Why do people distrust doctors during the 18th and 19th centuries
Kaylis [27]
Because anyone could’ve said they were a doctor and no one had any idea of knowing if they were telling the truth or not. Also because doctors were still learning about medicines and surgeries.

PLEASE HELP, DUE TODAYA! After reading "The Outsiders" in its entirety, what do readers learn about the exposition and resolutio
KIM [24]

Answer:

The exposition of "The Outsiders" reveals the main character of the story, Ponyboy and his friend group 'Greasers' and his rival group 'Socs.'

In resolution, the readers come to know about the reality of the story. Ponyboy was writing his English assignment that his teacher gave.

The similarities between exposition and resolution is that the characters and setting are same as in the beginning and ending of the story.

Explanation:

The exposition of a story is the introduction in which the characters and settings are introduced.

In the exposition of the novel "The Outsiders" the characters and the setting is introduced. The narrator of the story is a boy named Ponyboy. In the exposition, readers are introduced to Ponyboy and his group of friends, and they call themselves 'Greasers.' The rival group of Greasers were also introduced, that is, 'Socs.'

The resolution is the ending of the story in which all conflicts are resolved.

In the resolution of the novel, not only the conflicts are resolved but the readers come to the light that the whole novel was nothing but Ponyboy's English assignment that his teacher gave him. In the resolution, when Ponyboy writes "When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the moviehouse" the readers can also imagine themselves coming out into the bright sunlight from the imagination of Ponyboy.

The similarities that both the exposition and the resolution shares is that the setting and the characters are same. In exposition the story began with Ponyboy waiting outside the moviehouse and in resolution also we see him in the same setting.
