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.

Ow does Geijer’s comment support MacGregor’s point?
Mrrafil [7]

Geijer’s comment supports MacGregor’s point because:

  • It illustrates the popularity of tea in Britain during the 1800s.

<h3>What is the main point of the text?</h3>

The passage highlighted the importance of tea to the British people in the 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s.

The figures that were portrayed in the passage support the point that tea consumption now marked the lives of the Britons. So, option C is right.

As it got cheaper, tea also spread rapidly to the working classes. By 1800, as foreigners remarked, it was the new national drink. By 1900 the average tea consumption per person in Britain was a staggering 6 lbs (3 kilograms) a year. In 1809 the Swede Erik Gustav Geijer commented:

Next to water, tea is the Englishman's proper element. All classes consume it . . . in the morning one may see in many places small tables set up under the open sky, around which coal-carters and workmen empty their cups of delicious beverage.
