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.

In your opinion are the moments of happiness that the speaker finds by chance or does he seek them out
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The speaker seeks the moments of happiness in the poem From Blossoms.

Explanation:

From Blossoms is a poem written by Li-Young Lee. The poem talks about finding happiness in small moments and capturing them in your memory. He shares his experience of eating peaches in the poem.

After reading the poem, I opine that the speaker is seeking moments of happiness. By saying <em>"There are days we live/ as if death were nowhere",</em> the speaker is asserting that he choose to live in happiness as if death is nowhere. This means that the speaker is not thinking much about the future but living the present moments of happiness and capturing them in his memories.
