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.

I was in Dubai for winter break, I saw my cousins and uncle in Dubai and it was fun to be there and have a great time with them. Then we decided to do something really cool together, me and my cousin, we had the best experience of our lives in a place where you can experience a VR virtual world where you can see places around you and it was the It was the first time I tried something like that and that was the best moment for me. I saw my friends there and they offered me to play with them in a game where we might win cash prizes and trophies that would change our lives, and that just made me forget about spending time with my family. That made me spend more time on my gaming laptop than with my family and I wished that never happened because my cousin was sad and I quit the game then and I felt bad for not spending time with him and my brothers and then we went to the beach because it was a sunny day and we bought food there that I never tried before and I was curious to try it and it tasted really good and I ate it when I was hungry. At the end of the holiday when I got home I was sad because I did not want it to end but at least I had so much fun with my family and I got to spend time with them and I had to take some time to get my strength back because I had to help my mom with the housework.
